Two young women prepare a paste from melon seeds to clean their skin. They grind the roasted seeds in a mortar, mix it with melonpulp and rub the resulting paste on their bodies and off again. This cleans the skin and oils it at the same time. At the end both aid each other in cleaning the back in social grooming. The film demonstrates the event first with normal frequency and afterwards the same event is shown speeded up, as taken without interruption with a second camera.
