Under the hot Greek sun, animators at an all-inclusive island resort prepare for the busy tourist season. Kalia is the group leader. Paper decorations, glossy costumes and dance shows fill the stage. As summer intensifies and the work pressure builds up, their nights become violent and Kalia's struggle is revealed in the darkness. But when the spotlights turn on again, the show must go on.
The all-inclusive hotel is the Greek touristic machine. The animators are the workers who provide entertainment. What does it mean to have to put on the same costume, to play the same roles and to deliver with the same energy and smiles every day?
