Psychological drama chronicling the events that lead to a fashion model's incarceration in an asylum. Told in flashback, director Fabienne Berthaud takes us through the series of events that ultimately led to the hospitalisation, including on-set fights and exposure to the bitchy, back-biting world that is high fashion. Now nearing 30, Frankie seems content with her institutional life, and reluctant to return to the 'real' world.
