A beautifully dressed woman sits before a mirror while a makeup artist helps to complete the final look. Even though she is dressed to the nines, the makeup and hair perfectly in order, she still seems to be wracked by anxiety and stress. An insecurity about her nose overwhelms her to the point of marring her confidence, which eventually gets in the way of what she is trying to achieve, suggests the narrative. <br><br> However, the moment she leaves the room, another development awaits. The makeup artist now begins to apply makeup on his own face. He seems to be enjoying himself until the realization of how out of place this might seem in a heteronormative society shackles him, making this form of self-expression even harder. The short film aims to invoke both of these narratives simultaneously, while discussing the notion of beauty and how deeply it is controlled by societal standards, often keeping truly beautiful people from being the best version of themselves.
