13–19, Kun iho huutaa apua

1980–1983 · Commercial · 20 seconds

Womena / Vistakuva

When your skin feels unwell and cries for help, it needs the 13–19 treatment. Drawn animation on paper.

Extreme close-up of a drawn face: one made-up eye, a cheek and the mouth corner. A grid of dark oval pores across a pale expanse of skin. Lotion runs from a red 13-19 bottle into an open cupped hand. Pale cloud shapes with dark crescent marks spread across a mauve surface. A blue 13-19 tube squeezes a bead of cream onto a fingertip. Carton, bottle, tube, stick and sachet, all marked 13-19, lit on a pale ground. A drawn girl's face in close-up with huge blue eyes, long blonde hair and pink lips. Magnified skin with dark pores and several red inflamed spots between them.

Heard in the film: “Apua! Apua! Hei, ota iholtasi finnihuolet pois. 13–19-pesuneste pesee puhtaaksi. Ja voide hoitaa syvältä. Ihanaaa. 13–19-ihohoito-ohjelma. Finnihuolet pois!”
