Sylwia is a fitness phenomenon and influencer. She has hundreds of thousands of followers, a beautiful apartment and a dog, Jackson. Her whole life is about workouts, posting and her bond with her loyal supporters.

The film opens with energetic, scintillating shots of a group class at a mall. This reveals the extent of her impact and how much love she gives to her fans. She shares everything with them – even her despair and loneliness, something her manager doesn’t take kindly to. Her perfect life is upended when she is confronted by a stalker, a pathetic man with whom she shares more than she would care to admit.

The dynamic camera follows every move made by Sylwia – a role that seems to suit impressive actress Magdelena Kolesnik’s hard body to a tee – minutely registering the cracks that appear in her meticulous facade and slowly revealing the human behind it.

Within the online platform you can choose between subtitles in Dutch or English.
