The characters in this film - girls aged from 6 to 11 years, take part in a beauty contest for small children - Mini Miss Poland. The film shows their dreams, which usually concern quick and easy success. And success means for them fame and money. Winning the beauty contest is meant to be the first step in their career of a model or an actress. One of the girls even says that if she doesn’t succeed to be a model or an actress, she would like to retire, since retired people get money for nothing...
