In the bleak Bavarian hinterland, youngsters Ferdi and Jacky share a passion for modelling and dream of competing in the famous reality show Germany’s Future Topmodel. Real life as unemployed young adults in this rundown backwater is nowhere near as glamorous. How far are they willing to go to make dreams a reality? FAME is a story of friendship and the relentless fight for beauty.
