At its core, the film is a tribute to the enduring legacy of fitness guru Richard Simmons, renowned for his infectious energy and dedication to helping others. The narrative unfolds during a 2004 episode of the Ellen DeGeneres Show, where Richard makes an appearance. Amid the chaos and liveliness of the show's backstage, Richard encounters David, an overlooked and under appreciated segment producer struggling with self-esteem issues. In a serendipitous twist, Richard sees beyond David's invisibility, offering his unique brand of honest, uplifting kindness. The film is a poetic exploration of self-acceptance, the power of visibility, and the transformative impact of kindness. See less
