Miss Boté

190 views

That morning, a young woman eagerly awaits the opening of applications for a famous beauty pageant. She scrolls through the requirements, convinced everything is finally in her favor. Until she reaches the minimum height — one she doesn’t meet. Instead of giving up, she comes up with a solution as radical as it is absurd. A playful, offbeat short film that takes a sharp look at beauty standards and the tyranny of rules.

Léna Le Tessier

biography

Trained in cinema, I have been working in film for four years, in both production and directing. As a photographer, I love colorful worlds, unusual situations, and absurd images that are as unsettling as they are amusing. My goal? For a female Dupieux to film like Wes Anderson.
