Franky's life is full of challenges, and when he feels overwhelmed, he retreats to his imagination, creating a peculiar hotel. In this hotel, various personalities live, taking turns to take control of Franky's real life.
The whole movie forms an intriguing blend of two different realities. Franky's dissociative identity disorder manifests as the unique traits and behaviors of the hotel's residents. Each resident, especially in the pursuit of love, takes turns influencing Franky's life, leading to many comical situations.
KINOZEIT has described the film as "Characters like from a Kaurismäki movie but in Wes Anderson's colors." The movie combines the mood and expressiveness of Finnish director Aki Kaurismäki's characters with Wes Anderson's vibrant and original visual elements.
