Freshly ousted from her rock band, Nomi takes a last-resort job from her best friend Mara at their childhood Jewish summer camp. As camp director Mara contends with a busted septic system, she tasks Nomi to supervise a group of outsider teens called the floaters.
When their rival camp—led by Mara and Nomi's nemesis Daniel—issues a high-stakes challenge with prize money on the line, Nomi pushes the limits and loses Mara’s trust.
Now, Nomi and the Floaters must overcome their differences and outperform their rivals to keep the camp alive.
Framed through multigenerational perspectives, this offbeat comedy captures the rich diversity of a Jewish summer camp and explores the conflict between leaving one’s mark and building connection.
Directed by Rachel Israel, this spirited film celebrates authenticity and warmth, painting a vibrant portrait of modern Jewish life.
It’s about bonds forged in shared struggles, identity discovered in unlikely friendships, and strength found by embracing exactly who you are.
The Floaters showcases K180’s commitment to storytelling that resonates, steering clear of clichés to offer something memorable and deeply meaningful.
