Glamour Girls Plot/Synopsis
The official Netflix synopsis of the film reads – The world of high-end escorts promises glamour, wealth and the chance of reinvention for a group of women — till a killing and theft threaten it all. The film will show us how their whole life of glamour and glitz comes with a huge price. It focuses on the story of five girls who are desperately trying to make a living in the big city of Lagos, as high-end escorts.
Coming from a patriarchal African community, their profession is looked down upon and how they put up a mask of glamour in front of the reality is what might be explored in this remake. The 1994 film dealt with a similar topic of women trying to forge their own path to become independent. It was a great success in the country.
