The photograph shows a young woman smiling while sitting in a bathtub filled with water; the white-tiled walls in the background indicate a bathing department of a spa establishment. In the travel film, this shot is to be assigned to the sequence on the spa towns of Wiesbaden or Bad Homburg, where thermal baths and therapeutic bathing treatments formed the core offerings of spa operations. The film uses such shots to illustrate the medical-tourist appeal of the Hessian spa towns for an international audience. The medium close-up presents the spa guest as a relaxed, friendly protagonist and served the film’s promotional character.
