ANIMAL is a Greek, Austrian, Romanian, Cypriot and Bulgarian co-production which has taken home 25 awards so far.
It follows the story of a group of entertainers at an all-inclusive island resort as they prepare for the busy holiday season. Kalia is the leader of the pack, returning for her ninth year. But as the days go by under the hot Greek sun, the nights also grow wilder, leading Kalia’s struggle to be revealed in the darkness.
