The film follows three second-rate MODELS in Vienna. Disco dancing by night, posing for catalogue photo shoots by day, the three try to live a life of glamour and shield themselves from the pressures of competition and sexist photographers by snorting coke and maintaining an attitude of studied superficialty.
