At first, we see the husband and wife looking pretty great, with the wife sporting a decent figure:
The husband wants his wife to be just as fit and toned, so he signs her up for the program. She starts attending various weight loss sessions, trying to become the ultimate beauty:

MY THOUGHTS
I think we've all been there - feeling like we need to lose weight to fit someone else's ideal.
The movie is visually appealing, with a dominant use of grey and orange tones. These colors kind of suggest that grey is ugly:
Orange, on the other hand, is beautiful:
The entire beauty industry is portrayed in stylish grey-green tones:
The movie doesn't have any spoken dialogue, only 'ohs' and 'ahs' as a negative reaction to the procedures:
Of course, who would enjoy being sucked dry of fat or taken on a 'Free Fall' carousel ride?
When you're not in the mood, it's tough to get there:
If a woman loves to eat well, and someone tells her, 'Go, dear, let them suck the fat off you, here's some money!'
Nothing good is going to come out of that!!!
Of course, that's against her will!! And anything done against the will of any living being is a form of violence!!
The ending of the movie is pretty straightforward and easy to understand! But I'm not going to talk about it.
One acquaintance of mine sucked off the fat, and the next day she went to KFC to eat a fried chicken.
That's why they say, 'Fat people are nice! Because they don't stress about what to eat, and they enjoy themselves. It's really important in our lives!'
Often, women lose weight because they need to lose weight, but it's completely unclear who needs to do it. They need to fit some unknown ideal. And they're already at a comfortable weight that's maintained at a stable level. But a diet is often a stress for the body. In the end, the person crashes, starts eating, and the body starts storing fat, and the weight becomes even more than before the diet. That's why I think such events are pointless.
Of course, there are times when excess weight is actually a health risk, and that's a different situation.
✨️ My stories ✨️
My friend used to live with her husband, and they'd constantly tell her she needed to lose weight. Her mother-in-law even gave her diet pills on her birthday. My friend did lose weight, but her husband would then say that he wasn't really into her at that weight and that she should gain a bit. In the end, my friend left him, learned to love herself, and now she's thriving without any advice from others.
I have another friend who's in a similar situation. They were both thin before they got married, but now her husband is always on her case to lose weight. It just doesn't make sense to me - if you're not happy with your partner's weight, why get married to her in the first place? It's like trying to instill complexes in her that she's fat. I think any relationship where one partner is constantly pressuring the other to change their weight can't be happy.
I have a lot of similar stories, and I try to share them in my reviews. Maybe they'll be helpful to someone.
Anyway, I recommend this video to anyone interested in this topic. It's a great watch, and it's got a good message.
Thanks for your attention! I wish you all the best - and remember, self-love is key!🌞

I remember the movie 'The Ugly Sister' where they'd swallow these worm eggs...what people will do to themselves. I recall Larisa Dolina promoting those diet pills, and it turned out they had those worm eggs in them. Many people took them back then.
The Ugly Sister 2025 is about the disgusting and mercenary society we live in today. Where virgins are into alternative sex, and the wealthy and powerful are looking for ways to exploit...and naive girls are breaking themselves and their bodies to impress these wealthy perverts.
The most-watched movie of 2026, 'The Maid', says that many people now want a body like hers. Back in the day, it was all about having a butt like Kim's, and now it's all about having a body like Sydney's.
I recently binge-watched a movie that I just couldn't stop talking about - who else wants to sleep with a millionaire?! The gorgeous Sydney Sweeney and the dashing Michele Morrone from '365 Days' are a match made in heaven!
I've also got my own weight loss tips and tricks, and they're not just about following a diet:
Want a flat belly like Kim Kardashian's? I'll show you my exercises and share my secrets on how to get that perfect pop. And the best part? You can get started with my resistance bands for just 397 rubles, with over 90,000 reviews!
