Drama

Three days in the life of fitness motivator Sylwia Zajac, whose presence on social media has made her a celebrity. Although she has hundreds of thousands of followers, is surrounded by loyal employees and admired by acquaintances, she is looking for true intimacy.

Plot

Without a doubt, young, fresh, and effortlessly sexy Sylwia, a famous social media influencer and motivational fitness guru, is on top of her game. Oozing with energy and optimism, the athletic, obsessively self-promoting blonde messiah of fitness leads entire workout classes to ecstasy and self-acceptance, having managed to amass an army of die-hard followers. However, who can believe that deep-seated sadness resides in Sylwia's soul? For instance, who knows what Sylwia is doing between her posts, apart from posing for glamorous magazines and promoting her sponsors' products? And, what happens if one of Sylwia's fans is interested in much more than learning how to burn stubborn fat?
