Film description

Frida, Anniken and Ludwig live, breath and dream fashion. They spend hundreds of euros every month on clothes and make a living promoting the latest catwalk trends. Except for speculating that factory workers must be used to their hard lives, they have never given much thought to the people who make their clothes. Now, they're trading their comfortable lives for those of Cambodian garment workers in Phnom Penh. As well as working in the factories, they have to survive on $3 a day. This documentary poignantly shows the consequences of cheap fashion. In Norwegian with subtitles.
