CGiii Comment

"A satirical comedy about a neurotic gym owner trying to save his fitness center and self-image from destruction."

* An unhealthy mind in a healthy body - Jimi, the owner of Fit-Life gym, is visited by a bailiff. He has one week to pay EUR50,000, or he will have to close his gym. Jimi is determined to keep this a secret. He makes several attempts to raise the money but fails each time. Meanwhile, his worries escalate when his great love, Liene, the Zumba instructor, brings her friend Roy to the gym. Jimi immediately dislikes Roy's perfect smile. Liene, on the other hand, would love for Roy and Jimi to get along. Jimi's world collapses when Roy reveals Liene's secret and by the end of the day, Jimi has lost more money than he has gained and is at his wit's end. However, when Liene discloses that Roy comes from a wealthy background, Jimi finds a glimmer of hope. Jimi hatches a plan, but the tables turn when he discovers that Roy has a crush on him, and Jimi's physical reaction to this is impossible to ignore, leading to an identity crisis.
