Girl Model follows U.S. and Russian model scouts who travel through remote Siberian villages looking for thirteen to fifteen-year-old girls suitable for modeling jobs in Japan. This poetic film brings viewers into a modeling industry rife with mirrors, images, facades, and uncertainty. It is difficult to know who these young girls can trust and where the industry takes them when their eyes are covered.
