An irreverent and heartfelt comedy about friendship, creativity and the chaos of summer camp. When struggling musician Nomi is abruptly kicked out of her band on the eve of a European tour, her childhood best friend Mara convinces her to take a last-resort job as a fill-in counselor at Camp Daveed. With the camp’s survival on the line in a high-stakes Maccabiah Games challenge against wealthy rival Camp Barak, Nomi is tasked with directing the campers’ theatrical performance. Rejecting a predictable rendition of Fiddler on the Roof, she encourages the misfit troupe to create an original production—sparking chaos, hilarity and moments of unexpected brilliance. Amid faulty septic systems, bunkmates with less-than-pleasant habits and the occasional lice check - Nomi and her campers discover that summer camp can be more than a way to pass the season. It can be a place of creativity, growth and lasting connection. The Floaters is a laugh-out-loud, multi-generational comedy that celebrates the joy, absurdity and heart of summer camp life.
