Me and My Beautiful Body, don't judge too fast.
Me and My Beautiful Body is an experimental collage of interviews and castings of young and beautiful online influencers from Thailand.It is a fierce look into the mind of young adults.
To bear with their life, to climb the social ladder, to gain respect or escape fate, they changed the way they looked. Cosmetic surgery made them what they believe society expect them to look like.A severe and sometimes tough look at what drives the search for the perfect look and changes the faces of beauties.
Interlaced with actualities, videos and stills collected from the girls own postings, the short documentary hits hard on current values.
They are young, beautiful and in control of their life. They have weaponized their body
Don’t judge too fast.
