    Synopsis

    The Spinning Woman decides she needs to further increase her social skills, and embarks on the task of becoming a better public speaker. This video begins to look at the more blatant excesses, and subtle psychological responses to the social pressures of self-promotion and self-comodification.

    "This video is available in French only. Use the Search or Explore site tools to select non-dialogue or English-language films and videos."

Here we are introduced to a woman demoralized from her unsuccessful job search. Sisler looks at the cultural imperative of Òpoise and our public presentation as women.
