Body horror meets satire in one of the most commented on films of recent years. A former Hollywood star now TV fitness personality Elisabeth Sparkle is presented with the opportunity to use a drug which will temporarily allow her to be reborn as a beautiful twentysomething. The condition is that she must split the time equally between the two bodies - she doesn't. The cast give suitably commited performances.
