Two thirteen-year-old girls, Marija (Vesta Matulytė) and Kristina (Ieva Rupeikaitė), enter a modeling school that demands their bodies shrink and their ambitions grow at the same time. The institution's logic is simple: beauty requires sacrifice, and these girls are eager to believe it. Saulė Bliuvaitė shoots their descent with a steady eye, letting the damage accumulate in small, ordinary moments until the ordinary becomes unbearable.
