"Yes, sir, I can boogie! Boogie woogie all night long". Every night, all-inclusive hotels offer their paying guests non-stop fun and unlimited pleasure. Karaoke songs, all kinds of dances, sexy games and entertaining shows are all on the shoulders of the hired animators who sacrifice their souls, their pain and their bodies for their most demanding customers. The show must go on at all costs. Sometime before dawn, the performers are left alone to prepare for the next evening. Kalia is one of those energetic performers who can do anything.

"Yes, sir, I can boogie! Boogie woogie all night long". Every night, all-inclusive hotels offer their paying guests non-stop fun and unlimited pleasure. Karaoke songs, all kinds of dances, sexy games and entertaining shows are all on the shoulders of the hired animators who sacrifice their souls, their pain and their bodies for their most demanding customers. The show must go on at all costs. Sometime before dawn, the performers are left alone to prepare for the next evening. Kalia is one of those energetic performers who can do anything. No one cares what happens to her outside the hotel. Kalia's life is her job. Professional dancer Dimitra Vlagopoulou was discovered by director Sofia Exarchou for her debut film "Park" and cast again for a stunning and unforgettable performance.

The first Greek winner in 30 years of the Thessaloniki IFF and the best Greek film of 2024 with 7 national awards, it is currently a favourite of international festivals on the grand tour. Sofia Exarchou tries to hide a heartbreaking loneliness behind an ever-cheerful smile and revives the forgotten cult songs of Alla Pugacheva, who is surprisingly well known and adored in Greece.
