Overview

In the district of Kristineberg in Stockholm there is an abandoned hotel that the young film makers Roxane and Moa often pass by. In believing that the hotel is empty, they take the camera and go there, but it turns out to be temporary accommodation for about fifty people. Instead, it becomes a film about rootlessness, addiction and dreams of a regular home with potted plants in the windows.
