Accepting the Image

Accepting the Image portrays the way New York City women, their dreams and their lifestyles are represented in the media and in reality. The film questions this dual relationship between both worlds by sketching the portraits of Alynn, Lindsey and Holly, three young women who recently moved to the city. Filled with certain dreams and expectations, they each tell us what New York means to them and what their motivations were to go live there. As it appears, their incentives seem to blend with the image of the city as it is depicted in their favourite movies and television series.
