Note:

00:00 Film begins by showing a profile view of a girl wearing a costume that includes a thick, blond wig, blue robe, and mask of a woman’s face. The scene changes to show two girls with the costume. One girl controls the face mask, or head, and the other girl is kneeled and hidden by the blue robe and she controls the arms of the character; 01:37 The two girls are now standing on each side of the character and they take turns kissing the face mask on the cheek, as well as posing next to it; 02:14 Close-up of a painting depicting a girl lounging on a crescent moon. Scene changes back and forth between the two girls next to the face mask and the painting; 03:07 The girls are now dressed in the costume and controlling the head and arms again. The film periodically goes dark and the scene reappears to show a different woman wearing the costume; 04:03 Scene changes to show one of the girls wearing an outfit that resembles a lion. The scenes begin to quickly change from different perspectives of paintings and the women. Film ends.
