Logline

An intricate portrait of youth caught between appearances and reality.

Liane dreams of making it big as an influencer. It’s not easy. She makes ends meet by stealing. The 19-year-old is obsessed with beauty and sees it as a way out of a less than glamorous life. She has already had her breasts and lips done. Now her breakthrough could come: she’s given the chance to take part in the next season of a reality TV show.
