Winner: CineKink Audience Choice Award for Best Narrative Feature/2014
Over a million women have modeling portfolios online, and Dolce is one of the models who have made a career of it. But now 30, and tired of competing with 18-year-olds, Dolce realizes what once made her feel most alive is now bringing her down. Before starting a new career behind the camera, she embarks on a long road trip home, shooting with her favorite photographers one last time, and shedding some old lifestyle vices along the way. Combines real photo shoots using actual photographers, and a narrative based on some of their real-life adventures in front of the lens, for a unique, behind-the-scenes glimpse.
