Film Synopsis

Super Charmoussey is a popular winter sports resort that has no problem attracting tourists and their well-stocked wallets.  Charmoussey is its impoverished neighbour, a dull valley town that has none of its rival's appeal and which desperately needs a morale boost if it is to survive the recession.  A local beauty contest offers Charmoussey a last chance to prove itself.  Unfortunately, Super Charmoussey has won the competition 22 years running and looks set to claim yet another victory.  This year, it will be a fight to death...
