Hotel Harabati (12)

Synopsis

Brice Cauvin's directorial debut starring legendary French actress Anouk Aimée

While waiting to catch a train from Paris to Venice, French couple Philippe and Marion pick up a bag left behind by a polite, 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...
