Hotel Zentai

A virtual reality film by Leo Medel, starring Mariana Di Girolamo. Four stories intersect in a zentai club, a fetish scene where people cover their entire bodies in lycra suits: a mother and daughter who recognize each other during a ritual, a man who cannot decide what to wear, a coach who loses his authority, and two lovers who never see each other’s faces. For Medel, the film is about shame in Chile. Its trailer was presented at the Marché du Film of the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, within NEXT, and the film was shown at the Raindance Film Festival and the Mar del Plata International Film Festival.
