And do you know this one? An architect, his lover, her husband, a stuttering lawyer, his strange granddaughters and several others walk into a hotel… This particular hotel, hotel Paradise, is very discreet albeit quite murky. Architect Adalbert believes that in this shady establishment he won’t run into anyone he knows. He could not be more mistaken. It seems all of his social milieu had the same idea. And thus this hotel of questionable quality changes into the navel of Paris. But can anyone reach paradise here? Probably not. For Adalbert a romantic night with his lover becomes a veritable purgatory. Identity confusion, accidents and incidents make this night into a phantasmagoric waking dream. Or is it a nightmare? Only one thing is clear. No one shall get through this night without change.
