Plot

While Melanie's mother spends her holidays in Kenya, a group of overweight teenagers go a diet camp in the Austrian mountains. Everyday life in the camp is marked by drills, rationed meals, and food counseling. At night, the girls discuss puberty's problems, smoke cigarettes, and take food from the kitchen. Melanie falls in love with her physician and director of the camp. The doctor is torn between the duty to professional distance and his emotions, which become stronger against his will. At the end, he forces himself to prohibit further contact between him and Melanie, causing her deep distress.
Reception

In a positive review, Steven Boone noted that "Seidl is fascinated with the little ways people decorate their lives to reflect the brighter future they are toiling for within a rigid system that both promises that future and continually denies it." He also pointed out that "Seidl's camera always stands back to let the women's environments and their orientation within them tell their stories in a way that can inspire compassionate recognition." In the New York Times, Stephen Holden observed that the movie "contemplates the tyranny of what is nowadays sometimes referred to as “body fascism” in a society that holds out nearly impossible ideals of beauty and youth."
