A group of animateurs performs every night on the stage of Hotel Mirage, on the coast of a Greek island. Kalia(34) is la Nonna, the senior member of the troupe. Next to her, Eva(17) who works for the first time, Simos the “host”, his daughter Mary(10) and Thomas, Vladimir and Fani who play the midgets and the gorillas.
As the summer approaches, the hotel gets packed. The animateurs begin to prepare their summer show. Paper decors, glossy costumes and characters reminiscent of
circus heroes and famous pop personas fill the open-air stage. When the lights go out, they return to a small, isolated settlement on the edge of the shore, behind the
big resorts.
As summer intensifies, the fiesta becomes fiercer, more daring. Kalia’s nights turn violent, and the pop trance of flamboyance gives way to the rough void of yet another
drunken extravaganza. A wild summer story is revealed in the darkness. But when the spotlights are on again, their show must go on.
