  This fluid dynamics video demonstrates an experiment on superfast thinning of
a freestanding thin aqueous film. The production of such films is of
fundamental interest for interfacial sciences and the applications in
nanoscience. The stable phase of the film is of the order $5-50\,nm$;
nevertheless thermal convection can be established which changes qualitatively
the thinning behavior from linear to exponentially fast. The film is thermally
driven on one spot by a very cold needle, establishing two convection rolls at
a Rayleigh number of $10^7$. This in turn enforces thermal and mechanical
fluctuations which change the thinning behavior in a peculiar way, as shown in
the video.
