Open Call
A long awaited arrival of a modeling agency scouting new girls into a small spa town initiates a very suspicious casting procedure – one of the last ways to escape the mundane world. A big game on a small space where childhood dreams mingle with adult fancy and hidden desires mix with disclosed hatred.
