Synopsis
In Holiday Makers a chance group of vacationers sets out by bus for the Adriatic Sea. The grueling journey provides ample time to get to know the individual characters: myriad tense moments allow the travelers to reveal things about themselves that would have better remained hidden. As the kilometers roll by, the absurdities multiply. Not even the approach of their dream destination brings hope of improvement. Friendship, surprising situations, summer crushes, and wild vacation passions feature in a story full of humor and gentle irony. Things are indeed pretty hot by the sea! Holiday Makers is a timeless comedy and also a lighthearted tale, full of hope, in which even the worst prognosis can turn itself around entirely.
