Plumped

Inspired by Les Blank’s seminal short film Gap-Toothed Women (1987), Plumped is an honest, direct-to-camera survey film in which women speak candidly about their experiences with lip filler. While Les Blank’s film centers on the natural physical trait of gap teeth — one women are born with — Plumped deliberately shifts our focus to something manufactured. The film highlights the distinctly modern and instant transformation made possible through medical intervention, and the promise of gratification that comes with it.
