Máté, a young director looking for a subject for his graduation film, stumbles upon a special high school where underachieving teenagers are given one last chance to graduate.

meets the school divas Szani, Tina and Emese. He decides to document their stories, but getting close to the trio of 20-year-old girls brings a series of unexpected difficulties. And the more he learns about them, the more he begins to question his most basic assumptions.

Are the girls' lives really as simple as they seem? What are they hiding behind their perfect faces? As the Divas open up for the camera, the protective layer provided by their makeup slowly begins to peel away. And as they recognize and share their dreams and fears, a gradual transformation takes place - not only for the Divas, but for Máté as well.
