Amanita goes to see her friend Dr Frankenstein to fix a problem taking up too much room in her life: because of her enormous chest, men never look her in the eyes.

Finally—a premise that flips the male gaze on its head by literalizing it, then sends the victim to a mad scientist instead of accepting the problem as fact. It's the kind of subversive absurdism that makes you laugh and then immediately feel complicit for laughing.
Garcia deploys the Frankenstein callback with formal precision, situating body horror within a lineage of gothic satire while maintaining the structural economy of two-minute comedy—each frame earns its space.
The magic here is the tonal choice: playing the premise completely straight, letting the absurdity live in the gap between Amanita's matter-of-fact complaint and Dr. Frankenstein's willingness to help, rather than winking at the camera.
