Approaching the eighth decade of his life, Dimitris Omiridis trains daily, claiming a healthy and fit body. At the same time, he is the owner of a fitness school in central Athens, where friends and students get acquainted with his singular philosophy and body training practice that he calls “Omi-do”. Filming Dimitris’ everyday life at the school, the film showcases the possibilities of resistance to the inevitability of decline and ageing in one’s old age.
