At the turn of the 20th century, in a suggestive correspondence spanning nearly two decades, Rosa confides a secret to her friend Giorgina: the machine-extended mechanical man envisioned by Marinetti is not a near-future promise for mankind, as Futurists purport. It is, instead, a very real present for womankind, and Giorgina can easily order a specimen in the mail.
The entire short film was made by re-editing scenes from a number of silent films.
