Experimental short film in which a woman in a scarlet bath makes desperate attempts to clean herself.
A woman takes a bath. In the background we hear the repetitive sound of sloshing water. The bath is as white as the woman's body, the water scarlet, like the lipstick on her face that she has madly wiped from her lips. She submerges in an attempt to clean herself, but the ritual does not seem to have the effect she had hoped for. Her gaze into the camera expresses vacancy and despair, which no water in the world could ever wash away.
