A Faustian tale about a very old and outdated film that makes a pact with the film restoration bureaucracy to regain its youthful beauty. In return, it must remain purely eye candy, and stay away from exhibiting anything that might threaten to be interesting. It complies with a vengeance, and thus returns to being very old and outdated.

Featured elements:

: aging; diva mode; fantasy; femme fatale; manipulator; melodrama; suicide; unrequited love
