Summary

A MODEL SUMMER tells the story of Jirina, a 15-year-old Swedish girl trying to make it as a model in Paris over the summer. Jirina is an insecure, gangly, and naive teenager, alone in a foreign country. In Paris, she is subjected to constant physical criticism, catty, and sometimes cruel, fellow models, and womanizing photographers—but she also manages to find success, love, and, eventually heartbreak. A MODEL SUMMER takes a measured and thoughtful look at the modeling world, seen through the eyes of one young girl.
