Plot – Madeleine and Helen live and work in Beverly Hills. Dangerously close to the fateful threshold of half a century, the two women are now bitter rivals, despite displaying fake smiles and appreciation for each other. Both, one a writer, the other an actress, are facing the end of their careers as well as sentimental crisis. A modern witch offers them a potion that restores youth and basically gives immortality. The two friends and rivals are given the potion, but they soon discover that the remedy is worse than the disease. The two women, as a matter of fact, eventually end up looking like two puppets with their bodies in pieces that are re-composed badly.
