Hotel Swooni (2011)
An idyllic luxury hotel in Belgium is home to a variety of turbulent situations in this drama from director Kaat Beels. The Swooni is a hotel in Brussels where the wealthy (and those who like to imagine what it’s like to be wealthy) go to get away from their troubles, but not everyone there is so fortunate. Hendrik (Geert Van Rampelberg) is a policeman who has checked in with his wife Anna (Sara De Roo) and teenage son Jens (Enrique De Roeck). They’re in Brussels to attend a wedding, but Hendrik …
6 lives. 24 hours. A hotel in the middle of a heat wave. Anna and Hendrik have it all: a great son, a good job, a lovely house But the wedding they attend in the hotel forces them to reflect on the choices they have made. Hendrik is happy. Anna is not. Is that all there is? she wonders. Especially when her lover shows up, asking her to run off with him to greener pastures.
