In bed on a winter evening, Lia, Eva and Margot laugh at sexist ads, model cliches and stereotypes - before turning the question around: why do they find men beautiful, and what is 'beauty' in a man?

The scouts
Two minutes of three women deconstructing beauty standards sounds like a TED talk, except it's actually funny—and funnier still because it refuses the easy 'men are trash' punchline and asks something genuinely unsettling instead.
Mary and Robelin situate this in a lineage of feminist essay-cinema and bedroom-intimacy films, but the formal restraint—three voices, one frame, winter light—is what allows the provocation to land: the editing breathes between laughs and philosophy.
The film's entire architecture pivots on the decision to keep the camera still and let the conversation wander; that constraint forces the performances to do everything, and the result is a kind of comedic specificity that expensive setups couldn't touch.
