Based on true events and personal experiences, Aelrun Goette’s film centres on the 18-year-old Suzie, who is thrown headfirst into the vibrant fashion scene in communist East Germany when a photo of her ends up on the cover of Sibylle, the Vogue of the East. Her abrupt transition from dreary factory life to the dazzling world of fashion doesn’t come without challenges: nothing is private, nothing is apolitical, and she realises that beauty also has its price.
