25.7. THURSDAY 13:00 BIJELO KINO
Under the hot Greek sun, the animateurs at an all-inclusive island resort prepare for the busy tourist season. Glossy costumes and dance shows fill the stage. This powerful drama led by Kalia (Dimitra Vlagopoulou), delves into the harsh realities of their work and the clash between their dreams and daily struggles. Premiering at the Locarno Film Festival, it won Best Performance and has been acclaimed at numerous festivals since. Blending fiction and documentary styles, Exarchou’s film highlights labour conditions and personal sacrifices. As pressure builds up, their nights turn violent. But when the spotlights switch on again, the show must go on.
