Lucius is the manager of the Hotel Intercontinental in Vienna, who tries in vain to prevent its sale to an investor who wants to demolition it. As he drifts through rooms and situations, Lucius increasingly loses his composure. Argentine director Gastón Solnicki uses real hotel staff and his own family footage to craft a narrative experiment combining elements of historical documentary and semi-improvised drama. A tour de force performance by Willem Dafoe and a love letters to modernist Vienna.
