    • Synopsis
    • Irene, a 23-year-old artistic misfit, pursues a modeling career to escape her dead-end retail job but is quickly disillusioned by the cutthroat nature of the Los Angeles fashion world. Searching for identity and a kindred spirit while surrounded by competition, absurdity, and so many nude bras, Irene flounders until a mysterious woman's performance ignites her imagination. A dark comedy inspired by the real-life modeling adventures of former "America's Next Top Model" contestant, writer/director/star Marjorie Conrad.
