About

A woman gets out of the boot of a car, wearing an apron and rubber gloves. She walks towards the carwash attendants and is hoovered, soaped, sprayed, and rollered and then blown dried. Who is she transformed into? This film describes a domestic itch, the woman is buffed and polished. Does she become the person she dreams of? Burrill describes a protagonist determined in an extreme manner, to aim for the unobtainable.
