Fresh to Las Vegas with no connections, Nomi Malone takes a job as an exotic dancer. Her talents are quickly noticed by Cristal, a headlining dancer who senses an opportunity to bolster her own act. But Nomi won’t play second fiddle and soon begins her venomous path to the top, ruthlessly backstabbing anyone who gets in her way.

The film is a documentary film juxtaposing two distinct narrative threads. The first explore the history of a Czech girl who emigrates to France at the age of seventeen - a girl so hungry for freedom that she abandons family, boyfriend, homeland, culture...The other thead takes us on a circuitous route through the Eastern Europe of today. Past and present combine to unravel the web of illusion and disillusionment. The girl's private story provides a means by which these are revealed as, in parallel, we explore the living conditions of today's Eastern Europeans.
