What happens

Las modelos (Spanish for "the models") is a 1963 film directed and written by Vlasta Lah, the first woman director of sound films in Argentina and the only woman filmmaker in 1960s Latin America. It was her second and last film, released after her 1960 directorial debut Las furias. The film tells the story of Sonia and Ana, two young haute couture models, who are played by two real-life models instead of actresses. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
