When his car breaks down in the middle of nowhere Dante, lost, finds a shabby hotel, only to discover that it’s impossible to check

out. A man in a bowler hat draws him into a world of endless corridors, lethal waitresses and talk show hosts who decapitate their guests. A dark, surrealistic black comedy inspired by Dante’s Inferno.
