Overview

Ex Model is a French-produced comedy-drama series that follows the life of Esmée, a former high-fashion model who finds herself at a professional and personal crossroads.

The series explores the complexities of identity, self-worth, and the transition from being a 'face' to being a person with substance. As Esmée attempts to build a new career and navigate complicated relationships with former peers and new acquaintances, she must confront the insecurities and societal pressures that defined her previous life.
