There live two heiresses - princesses locked in two different rooms. The walls are thin and they can communicate, but not see each other. One is beautiful and the other is ugly. But all the mirrors in the rooms are crooked. A beauty sees herself as ugly, and an ugly woman sees herself as a beauty. When the time of liberation comes, the beauty, for the one who considered herself a beauty, but turned out to be ugly, launches scientific research and invents her very thing - plastic surgery. Now there are two beauties. But the one who was ugly betrays the good beauty. Moral: beauty is subjective. Philosophy of spiritual beauty and ugliness of the soul.
