The director's grandparents are reminiscing on moments from their marriage. Film was meant to be part of a video installation.

In a marriage agency, a young woman watches VHS tapes of men from Western countries looking for a wife and then proceeds to film a tape that represents her. The owner, and by the way the only employee of the makeshift agency, who boasts of many successful intermediations (portraits of married women in Western metropolises wallpaper the agency's walls), selects the settings and teaches the young woman how to pose: from behind a desk, as a secretary, with the phone to her ear, with the image of American skyscrapers in the background, against the backdrop of a beach with palm trees, in a mini dress in a Mediterranean setting, with a glass of red wine in her hand, etc. But at a certain point the young woman rejects the clichés and asks the owner-cameraman to capture her in an authentic pose.

The story of how two men want to take an abusive advantage of a young woman from the countryside by promising her the world, but only if she goes through them first.
