In a well-to-do Chicago suburb a local spa sparks controversy with a billboard ad featuring a picture of a gorgeous woman in a bikini, superimposed with arrows suggesting how she could be cosmetically enhanced. The model, the photographer, the spa-owner, a local feminist activist and her daughter, and the barista (who observes them all) comment on the events leading up to the billboards ultimate removal. A look at how body image and societal and cultural pressures affect both men and women’s perceptions of themselves and of each other.
