Follow the exploits of various guests and employees at an exclusive tropical resort over the span of a week as with each passing day, a darker complexity emerges in these picture-perfect travelers, the hotel’s cheerful employees and the idyllic locale itself.

Makoto 'Smile' Tsukimoto and his friend Yutaka 'Peco' Hoshino have been playing table tennis together since they were kids, but as they enter high school, they find that the game, and how they see it, has changed. Peco, brimming with confidence and energy, wants to be the best in the world, but the reserved Smile has little fighting spirit and doesn't want to sacrifice others' happiness just to win, despite his innate talent. As the two grow, and experience the ups and downs of the sport – and life – they try to figure out exactly who they really are and what drives them to play.

When Peppi (36) finds out he wasn’t invited to the class reunion, his self-image starts to crack. Fuck! Forgotten? Uninvited? – This must be a mistake! Searching for answers, we follow Peppi to his old hometown and back to the past of his 16-year-old self: Skateboarding with bleached tips through the monsoon of the 2000s. The era of flip phones, lan parties, and Top of the Pops. But alongside the wild, nostalgic memories lurk some dark teenage sins. Maybe there are reasons why Peppi shouldn’t have been invited after all. CHABOS is like an old Facebook profile you’ve scrolled too far down — full of shame.
