Hotel Harabati

Film Description

A gripping psychological drama that invites repeated viewings to unravel its many mysteries.

While waiting to catch a train from Paris to Venice, French couple Philippe and

Marion pick up a bag left behind by a polite, vaguely Middle Eastern man. Inside, they find neatly bound bundles of foreign currency; on the tag, it reads 'Hotel Harabati.' At the last moment, they decide not to go to Venice (though they tell their families and friends they did); but when Marion collects her film from the developer's, the reel is inexplicably filled with shots of canals, vaporetti, crowded piazzas ... and suddenly, terrifyingly, their whole world seems to have turned upside-down.

As reality blurs, the couple start to grow apart. Marion leaves Paris with

the children and Philippe takes refuge with a young man that he meets.

Until eventually he is compelled to try and find Hotel Harabati.
