The stakes are high for this beauty queen...
Overview
Ana might not be the worlds version of a "perfect girl", but she still feels pressured to be as close to perfection as a woman in her position can be. To appease her overbearing mothers wishes, she competes in the Taste Talent beauty pageant, in hopes of joining an elite modelling agency, that promises to make the winner a star, but under one obscure condition.
