The story

What Is Models About?

The premise of Models without spoilers.

A stark, unflinching portrait of three young women chasing fame as Viennese models. Vivian is relentless in her quest to become a magazine cover star, while Lisa spends her days immersed in constant plastic surgery and cocaine binges. In contrast, the innocent Tanja turns to tarot, yoga and raw animal energy, seeking a mystical path.
