Storyline
| Plot Summary |
This excoriating satire of the fashion industry follows 20-year-old Brooklyn-born fashion model Polly Maggoo in Paris, on the runway at the big shows where magazine editor Ms. Maxwell is the reigning opinion maker and the ridiculous passes for sublime. Polly becomes the subject of an episode of vapid TV news-documentary series "Qui êtes-vous?" and is pursued by the filmmaker and by the prince of Borodine, a small country in the Soviet bloc. We watch as the documentary is shot, we await Polly's arrival in the principality, we observe a lunch in the suburbs, and we learn of her childhood. Is there more to Polly than her pretty face? Is anything below the surface?
