Loxy is embarking on a new chapter in her life: she has been accepted as the first disabled actor at the National Theatre of Greece. Inspired by her mother’s work, the young woman is thrilled, as her dream of an acting career is now closer to becoming reality. However, acting requires intense training together with others, as everyone must work as a team for the performance to succeed.

The rehearsal days grow long, the training sessions increase, and last-minute changes affect both the schedule and the performance. As the rehearsals take a toll on Loxy’s strength, her mother’s protective instincts heighten even further.

This feel-good documentary film closely follows the progress of the radiant and determined Loxy, along with the challenges she faces. The film openly highlights how the so-called "normal" world of "normal" people is surprisingly abnormal and full of obstacles—simply because no one questions it. It offers thought-provoking insight for any community striving to be inclusive; stairs may be a physical barrier, but the greater obstacle is the belief that they cannot be overcome.
