Hotel Desire
# Hotel Desire

Hotel Desire is a 2011 German erotic short drama film written and directed by Sergej Moya. It follows a morning in the life of a single mother in Berlin who is trying to manage her life while trying to care for her young son, but faces various difficulties and neglects her personal needs. She works in a hotel, spending her days with no expectations for herself and having gone several years with no man in her life after separating from her child's father. When she encounters a hotel guest in a room she is cleaning, she is unable to resist her long-pent-up feelings of desire within.

The film features scenes of Volm and Schick engaging in unsimulated sex.

## Plot

In a hurry, single mother Antonia puts her seven-year-old son on the bus which will take him to France for a vacation with his father, and then turns up late for her work as a chambermaid in a luxury hotel. Most of the other staff are hostile towards her casual attitude except for one girl who, finding her in tears in the changing room, is sympathetic. Among her problems, Antonia says she has not been with a man for years, which her co-worker advises her to put right at the first opportunity.

Doing her rounds, Antonia enters the apparently empty room of a single man, who bursts naked and wet out of the bathroom to answer his phone. She stands frozen while he talks and then starts looking for his clothes, upon which she realises he is blind. Searching for his shoes, he finds her feet and in silence starts exploring her body. She slowly responds, and soon the two begin making love. Lying happy and satisfied on the bed afterward, the man lights a cigarette and the sprinkler in the ceiling soaks them both.

## Production

In this film, the main actors Saralisa Volm and Clemens Schick appeared fully nude, performing explicit sex acts like a handjob and cunnilingus. It has been alleged that body doubles stepped in for the penetration scenes but this has not been confirmed. The film was notable for being the first entirely crowdfunded German film.
