Hotel

NORDIC HIGHLIGHTS

Erika is a young and talented interior designer who has everything in her life under control, until one day the life gives her something she cannot influence. She falls into depression and begins attending a group therapy. Dreaming of escaping from pain and misery, the group members decide to try out an unconventional therapy method which involves staying in a hotel, a place where pretending to be someone else seems the easiest thing to do. Lisa Langseth’s film on how to accept oneself and overcome an emotional trauma is a moving and unexpectedly entertaining chance to see talented Alicia Vikander (“Ex Machina”, “U.N.C.L.E.”) before her rise to Hollywood stardom.
