A sensory portrait of a father and his family, displaced to the anonymity of a hotel. In his quiet attempts to rebuild a sense of home, routine becomes a fragile act of resistance.

synopsis

A family of three - Hector, Anna and 10-year-old Luna - are forced to stay in a hotel. What was initially supposed to be a short, temporary stay slowly becomes a new reality. For Hector, a father clinging to his role as protector of the family, living in this temporary space means a loss of his sense of control and self-worth. In an attempt to get a grip on the situation, he transforms the anonymous hotel room step by step into a home: furniture is rearranged, and cooking, eating and cleaning are done in the room. But the hotel, designed for short stays, seems to resist these attempts.
Portrait sensoriel d'un père et de sa famille, déplacés dans l'anonymat d'un hôtel. Dans ses tentatives discrètes pour recréer un sentiment de maison, la routine devient un fragile acte de résistance.
Een zintuigelijk portret van een vader en zijn familie, die in de anonimiteit van een hotel terechtkomen. In zijn stille pogingen om weer een thuisgevoel op te bouwen, wordt routine een kwetsbare daad van verzet.
