In the tailoring Zazy meets Marianna, who has become friends with the owner of the store. When he does not return after a trip with Marianna, Zazy senses the chance to make her dream of a TV career come true.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Ruby O. Fee learned basic tailoring for the role but reportedly hated every minute, which directors used to fuel Zazy's on-screen frustration.
The film quietly satirizes Germany's 2010s reality TV boom, where regional 'stars' like Zazy became briefly famous for being monstrous on camera.
