Hotel for Strangers

Directed by Antonín Máša

With Petr Čepek, Táňa Fischerová, Marta Krásová, Vladimír Šmeral and Evald Schorm

A gifted poet checks into a Gothic hotel in hopes of meeting the woman with whom he has long been enamored. He is surrounded by a variety of offbeat characters like the hefty homosexual cook, shadowy clerks, snooty waiters, and valets prone to violence. He finally meets the woman of his dreams only to lose her and ultimately meet with tragedy.
