synopsis:

Somewhere in Europe a Greek receptionist owes to a French cook, who owes to a Slovenian maid and she owes to an Italian bar owner, who owes money to the Greek. A German tourist owes nobody; she just wants to get a good night’s sleep. The English hotel guest is looking for an exit. The film is shot in one take with a crew and actors coming from over ten countries. They all speak their own mother tongue.
