Motel Destino is a secretive love hotel on Brazil’s northeastern coast, managed by Elias and his wife Dayana. Behind its closed doors, passions run high. When the 21-year-old Heraldo shows up, it’s clear he’s involved in shady dealings for the local mafia. After a job goes awry, Motel Destino forms the safe haven he desperately needs.

A formally stylized sex drama with vivid use of color and steamy sex scenes. As befits a film that prioritises its aesthetics, the music and sound design are effectively integrated. It features outstanding performances from the central trio: three intense and instinctively physical portrayals where their physicality takes center stage – sensual yet, at the same time, vulnerable.
