Hotel de paso

Hotel de Paso is a documentary that portrays the everyday life of the deported immigrants that live on this old hotel formerly called “El Centenario” and now known as “Hotel Migrante”; this place represents a microcosm or underworld where good and evil meet through protagonist and antagonistic characters. As life and time go by, as if it was a purgatory with lost souls, every character evolves building this film in a choral manner; each voice brings something different through his own holds: his past, his emotions, frustrations, his survival... all of them have to resolve their migratory situation either by trying to cross illegally again to “the other side”, returning to their home city or country or by surviving on the border. Between the confinement and the wait, the inhabitants of this hotel have to accommodate their lives to the rules and dynamics imposed by those in charge, a civil organization called “Ángeles sin Fronteras”.
