The Princess by Adonis Pulatus
This time-lapse film chronicles an evening of transformation. You see a beautiful woman visiting her good friend and hairdresser for a makeover session. Soon, you understand that the woman is suffering from a serious illness. The viewer is shocked to learn about the real purpose of the visit. Clearly, this woman's view of herself will never be quite the same again.
