Plot

In the heart of Biarritz, under the blanket of night, Hélène, a disoriented anesthetist with a reliance on pills, narrowly avoids a collision with Gilles, a man of humble origins. Her life, still shrouded in a fog of melancholy following the drowning of her lover, a luminary architect, intertwines with Gilles in this fateful encounter. Despite the class divide and his limited prospects, Gilles is drawn towards Hélène, yet he hesitates, convinced that she could never fall for someone like him. As they navigate the complexities of their relationship, Hélène finds herself falling for Gilles, slowly lifting the weight of her depression. The healing process, however, triggers a transformation in Gilles. He becomes consumed by the specter of Hélène's late lover, his genius and Gilles' own perceived shortcomings. His behavior takes a bizarre turn as he starts to alienate the very woman whose love he yearned for. 'Hotel America' paints a poignant tale of love, loss, and rebirth, set against the backdrop of two individuals wrestling with their insecurities, longings, and the shadows of the past. How their internal conflicts shape their relationship and their individual journeys forms the compelling narrative of this cinematic masterpiece.
