When the shy and withdrawn employee Ferdinand is transferred to a spa, he discovers a world previously unknown to him: a world of nudity, sensuality and sweet idleness – in short, a world full of everything that has so far scared him senseless.

Hot Hot Hot is the colourful and sensitive depiction of an unusual, self-contained cosmos, full of bodies in all shapes and sizes, where beauty comes in manifold disguises. The film tells a story of emancipation, change and initiation, of a captive man who wakes up to love and the joys of life, only to discover how much he himself has to give.
