A playful, visually stylized short film that uses the surreal premise of stepping into a fashion magazine to explore artifice, identity, and the gap between image and reality.

A girl finds herself inside a fashion magazine – Joanna Hogg's graduation piece at the National Film and Television School starring a then unknown Tilda Swinton.
