Centered on a trade fair of products for women, the work's sarcastic and biting perspective falls on both the men who build that "world" (workers and businessmen) and the women who support them. Through techniques of distancing, mostly of image from sound, the artist developed a poignant reflection on the social debasement of and discrimination against women carried out by products that supposedly exalt and distinguish them.

This short film, filmed at the Rural Exhibition, is a testimony that, based on 70 interviews with girls and boys of 9 and 10 years old, investigates the behavior guidelines imposed by conventional education and the results obtained. Boys are educated in a specific way, with very different life goals, and toys reflect this discrimination: kitchens, dolls, hairdryers, cosmetic equipment, the whole domestic world for girls. Creative games, those that awaken the imagination (trains, cars, building games, men in space), are intended for boys.
