Kalia (Dimitra Vlagopoulou) has been working as an entertainer in a Greek vacation resort for many years, Eva (Flomaria Papadaki) is a new addition to the team that offers what are often highly sexualized shows to liven up the mood for tourists in hotels and clubs. Director Sofia Exarchou tells of a system that is based on competition rather than solidarity—but also of people who, despite everything, refuse to give up their hope for sexual independence and a better life.
