The film follows two young lighting and grip assistants at the beginning of their careers through an ordinary working day – from early morning until late at night. Before, on, and after the film set. A daily routine that often remains invisible to outsiders: from loading the van to driving to the location, through physically demanding logistical tasks and unexpected surprises, their day follows a strict pattern. The film presents this reality with a blend of humor and seriousness, placing at its center those without whom no shoot would be possible – and who rarely receive the same recognition as directors, cinematographers, or actors. Far from the glamour of filmmaking, close to a working day on set as many know it but few ever talk about.
