A young mentally ill Danish model named Emma is fighting for a breakthrough in the Parisian fashion world.

But soon Emma finds that love also has gloomy facets, and her dreams are challenged by both Shane and an unexpected, dark side of herself.

[2] Metacritic gives the film a score of 58 out of 100, based on six critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

[4] Variety stated, "The screenplay by Matthiessen and co-writers Martin Pieter Zandvliet and Anders Frithiof August is compelling up until the melodramatic, credulity-straining final act, although the characters, apart from Emma, feel underdeveloped".

[5] Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times wrote, "The bodies are thin in the Danish film and so is the plot, though the real-life model who plays the lead role acquits herself well enough".
