As the tourist season is starting, a motley crew of animators of a luxury beach resort on one of Greece’s islands are trickling in. The team is led by Kalia, a dedicated performer who lets nothing stand in the way of her job. Yet after hours, when she’s off the stage, Kalia’s growing existential crisis takes center stage. Greek director Sofia Exarchou’s sophomore film Animal intends to show a darker side of the tourism industry, the daily grind of keeping other people happy to the detriment of your own happiness.
