NOTES
Title from title frames
Perla is obsessed with her two daughters, and she pins them against each other in the hopes of having a beauty queen to honor the family name. She teaches her girls from a young age the rules to becoming beauty queens, and they aren’t child friendly. Plastic surgery, vomiting after eating, and sleeping with older men are all ways to get ahead in the industry according to Perla. However, despite Perla’s dedication, her dreams come crashing down before her eyes. *Toddlers & Tiaras* meets Pedro Almodóvar in this frantic comedy. Official Selection at the **Berlin International Film Festival**. *"Sharp-eyed and amusing...An entertaining attack on the suffering and insecurity generated by the international beauty industry." - Jonathan Holland, **The Hollywood Reporter***
