action

The single parent Antonia brings her seven-year-old son to a long-distance bus stop in Berlin at the last minute , from which the boy travels alone to Paris to visit his father on vacation. Because she does not start her job as a maid in a hotel on time, she gets into trouble with her superiors, but is protected by her shift supervisor. Disturbed by her son's departure and because of the accusations at the hotel, she confides to a colleague of the same age that she has not had sex for several years; the colleague advises her to take the next opportunity.

This opportunity arises shortly after Antonia has entered the room of the blind painter Julius Pass. It is only after she has been in his suite for a while and looking around that she notices that Pass was standing in the shower in the bathroom. Frozen with shock, she stands in a corner of the room when Pass comes into the room naked and dresses. When Pass gropes for his shoes on the floor, he brushes Antonia's shoes, discovers her presence and slowly feels his way up her thighs. Antonia's frightened numbness now dissolves into sexual desire. The subsequent sexual intercourse is shown in openly filmed close-ups and ends with an involuntary shower.

background

The production companies teamWorx and Von Fiessbach Film collected the costs of 170,000 euros, partly through crowdfunding via the Internet, and there was also a cooperation with Deutsche Telekom and the TV broadcaster ARTE . Despite the explicit scenes, the film was not supposed to be a porn film . According to its own advertising, it was called "porNEOgrafisch" and was finally approved for people aged 16 and over. The premiere took place on December 7, 2011 in the event cinema of the Sony Center in Berlin . After the one-time cinema premiere, the film should no longer be shown in the cinemas, but should only be available for the first 6 months via Deutsche Telekom's online video store, Videoload . According to the portal operator, the film, which is offered at a price from 2.99 euros, is a best seller. Without giving specific figures, it was stated that the views for the film were "up to five times larger than usual" and that the film would be number 1 on the Videoload sales charts by a clear margin at the start of its release.

The film was shown for the first time on free TV on July 16, 2013 at 0:30 a.m. on ARTE .

Reviews

“The ten-minute sex scene, which makes up a quarter of the total length of 'Hotel Desire', turns out to be neither ambitious nor particularly realistic. Instead, it is surprisingly conservative - namely stylized according to Hollywood conventions. You can see what wouldn't be seen in mainstream films, such as how Clemens Schick's finger slides between Saralisa Volms labia and how his penis sinks between her buttocks. But where porn focuses entirely on the penetration that it celebrates in ever new positions, 'Hotel Desire' cuts quickly and often to other details. [..] There is no animal ramming here, rather ballet is danced. [..] Sweat is allowed to shimmer on the actors' foreheads, but other body fluids are taboo. There is no ejaculation - the 'real' sex gets by without the final proof of authenticity. [..] Sex here doesn't want to be revolutionary, transgressive or even dirty, but rather pleases itself as a little carelessness between two adult people. [..] So the 'real' sex of the cuddly porn 'Hotel Desire' fizzles out in harmlessness and pleasure. "
