Undefined Beauty Synopsis
Society’s unrealistic beauty standards and the journey toward self-love.
The media and companies are known to perpetuate unrealistic beauty standards. As we recognize more misconceptions about unrealistic beauty standards, we explore the stories of four girls and how this standard of beauty negatively impacts their self-image. As these girls attempt to accept their insecurities, they embark upon a journey of learning to love themselves in a healthy manner. Simultaneously, they begin to realize how many people share their struggle with self-esteem and attempt to diversify what is known as beauty.
