Country of Hotels
Synopsis
The stories of the desperate souls who pass through the doors of 508, a room on the fifth floor of an anonymous, decaying hotel.
A surreal and blackly comic journey down the hotel's lonely corridors and behind its out-dated furnishings and stained surfaces. The story plunging into the ever-turning carousel of haunted lives who check in and out of the establishment. Adulterers, lonely businessmen, and hustlers grapple with their demons whilst a prying, occasionally sinister hotel staff always seems to be within earshot. Inside this hotel the mundane transforms into an implement of threat; a faulty light fixture appears to contain a hidden camera; a heating unit whispers to guests with increasing menace; a television set randomly flips channels, displaying TV shows which reveal a guest's secret paranoid fantasies; and a stray look into the bathroom mirror becomes the quickest way to disprove your existence.
