The neon-hued Motel Destino is a roadside sex hotel under the burning blue skies of the coast of Northern Brazil, run by the boorish Elias (Fábio Assunção) and his frustrated, beautiful wife Dayana (Nataly Rocha).
When 21-year-old Heraldo (Iago Xavier) finds himself at the motel after messing up a hit and going on the run from both the police and the gang he let down, Dayana finds herself intrigued and lets him stay. As the two navigate a dance of power, desire and liberation, a dangerous plan for freedom emerges.
With echoes of ‘The Postman Always Rings Twice’ this highly charged, super-erotic thriller premiered in Cannes and comes with a throbbing soundtrack and boasts terrific performances by its central trio, radiating mood, rawness and a humid vibrant Brazilian atmosphere.
