Angela is excited by her change of fortune. Guided by the successful Madeleine, she is taken away from her dull life as a hairdresser and introduced to the glamorous world of modelling. Despite her lack of experience, Angela is immediately offered a job by the eccentric photographer Linsey. Intoxicated by the attention, Angela decides to go with the moment.
