The lives of 10 strangers intertwine when they join a weight-loss camp and are faced not only with the battle against their bodies but also their minds.

This tragicomic fiction series focuses on 10 obese men and women, who decide to participate in the 'Albatros' slimming camp in the Ardennes. Upon arrival it’s clear that they carry not only physical, but also emotional excess weight. The participants are physically challenged by a not so subtle coach while the group therapist tries to get them out of their comfort zone. The protective layers with which they kept the outside world and their past at a distance are peeled off one by one.
