When a plate is swiftly pulled out of a liquid bath, a thin liquid film is dragged out by the moving surface. High-speed imaging reveals surprising structure of such a seemingly mundane process. A new technique allows precise measurement of the structure, and a systematic comparison with the reverse process of plunging a plate is carried out
