Empty is an award-winning realist short film from 2015. This short film Empty follows Keira and her troubles to live a normal life and follow a normal everyday life with eating disorder. This film shows the realization of how the community, through images and video, automatically creates an image of how to look and how the perfect body is. It is for this view that Keira is struggling with.

The production of thin girls in fashion shows represents the body, that Keira wants to achieve. Keira does not like her body, and she does not feel comfortable with it, when she looks into the mirror - here she sees all the "mistakes" and forgets the most important thing - that we are all perfect as we look. Her "friend" produces the thin Victoria Secret models as perfect and that it is art. In this way, she influences Keira to believe it's idle and thus make her sicker. These comments put a lot of thought into Keiras's mind, and it's not always easy for her to find out what's right and wrong.
