Paper Dolls

Chasing stardom promises glamour and success — but the reality of fame comes at a far greater cost. Set at the turn of the millennium, Paper Dollsfollows five aspiring singers who are thrust into the public eye through the reality show Pop Rush. Together, they form HARLOW, a manufactured girl group destined to reshape pop culture. At first, the spotlight promises euphoria, celebrity status, and validation, but the relentless demands of fame soon reveal the industry’s darker underbelly — where identities are commodified, dreams are exploited, and personal lives are sacrificed for public image. As they struggle with the pressures of instant stardom, the members of HARLOW are forced to reckon with who they are beyond the fame — and whether their dreams are worth the price.
