The first fashion film in history, produced in 1977 to launch the first Fendi ready-to-wear collection, "Histoire d'eau" tells of a young woman vacationing in Rome and bathing in the city fountains.
Encouraged by the stories of guest workers who pay visit to their homeland, a young man Filip finds himself on a central station in Frankfurt on the Main, Germany.
The life and death of the fictional star Wilma Montesi is reported in the form of a staged newsreel. Excerpts from films of various genres and eras are juxtaposed with "documentary material" about the star's public and private life.
