A car saleswoman who wants to make a career, a single bank employee who owns a shoe collection and lives with her cats. A mother who is the founder of an internet forum dedicated to aesthetic surgery. A woman who has had problems with her overweight and a cemetery gardener who has planned his life to the end. People from the German middle class. At first glance, nothing seems unusual about the protagonists in terms of beauty, but they all have something supposedly extraordinary in common - cosmetic surgery. Carolin Schmitz gives the viewer an insight into the lives of people who have gone under the knife in the name of beauty, but also of people who perform plastic surgery. What life plans do these people have? What do they mean by beauty?
