Synopsis
“Eat for the body you want, not for the body you have”. Medical student Hana decides to take this motivational quote to heart. She bravely chucks all her donuts in the trash and cheerfully embarks on the quest for her ideal weight. But the going proves to be so tough… Until her school friend Mel shows up, raving about the miraculous effects of her new diet pills. When they turn out to be very expensive, Hana sneaks into the lab for an analysis of the contents of the miracle pills. And for a medical student it’s easy to get hold of the ingredients she needs. Hana soon starts producing her own pills, but unfortunately, they don’t come with a package leaflet. And the disturbing side effects are quick to show themselves.
