As a child, we all find our reflections intriguing, but Sofia could never stop staring at hers. 

The Girl on Via Paolo Sarpi follows 21-year-old Lithuanian model Sofia Kaffeman as she spirals into madness in a crowded apartment building of foreign models, makeup artists, photographers and her agents. Scouted by a Singaporean agency at the young age of 15, Sofia should be used to the brutal rejection of the fashion world. But this time it's different as her identity is slipping well out of her control. 

Documenting every inch of her body, her weight and diet Sofia battles to keep up her appearance and suffers cruel cuts to her weekly allowance and the 10-almond-a-day-ration. The mirrors plastered on every wall don't help either. Instead, an elicit reminder of her reflection in the Dom Perignon bottle, gripped in the hands of Hong Kong triads before the hit. 

Trapped within the crux of Milan's city walls that stretch unforgivingly to Duomo Cathedral and her rising delirium, Sofia must re-establish her identity before she's already too far gone.
