SYNOPSIS
​A mysterious concierge guides us through stories that unfold in the same room over a century. A Jewish businessman celebrates a lonely family festivity with his daughter. A planned suicide leads to a life-changing encounter. An ageing rock band struggles with their image, and a young woman sees a callboy as her big chance for financial independence. Check-in yourself – at the Hotel Excelsior.
