RENATO SIRCILLI | BRAZIL | 2023 | 124 MIN | PORTUGUESE EST
Jorge is 70 years old and is one of the most capricious and dedicated janitors at the Paradise Motel, except for a single detail: he secretly records the audio of the room guests. Selling these audios to Alberto earns him an extra income as well as affection, even though he no longer remembers what his own pleasure sounds like.
