Water treatments... without water? The case when already on the first frames you can recognize the director. Johan Schwarzer is the creator of Austrian cinema and at the same time one of the ancestors of adult films. Comedic, which is important. Despite the fact that among the films of Schwarzer there are unsuccessful, his creative path is the path to beauty, which sharply contrasts with most subsequent porn films of the XX century.

I am sure that if someone is offered a bath in the bath of the early XX century, everyone will refuse. And in 1910, there was no choice! Climbing in, the young lady is above the knee in this vessel, in which the gaze of the modern viewer will not see any splashes. Apparently, Schwarzer saved on tap water.

The character, of course, is not fun, because they try to kick him out.
