Eva grows up in a small village in Northern Czechoslovakia. Being a model was the last thing she could think of, as by that moment she had been doing sports actively: gymnastics, basketball, track, and cross-country skiing .
While paying a visit to the capital one day, the 16-year-old Eva meets a friend, who informs her of a forthcoming model contest organized by
