Ketelhuis Expat
Beneath the scorching sun of northeastern Brazil, where the horizon glows and life pulses in tropical heat, lies Motel Destino, a neon-lit haven for secret desires and dangerous dreams. Run by the rugged Elias and his dissatisfied but enchanting wife Dayana, this small roadside motel is a world unto itself: a place where the night writes its own laws. On the run after a failed assassination attempt, 21-year-old Heraldo seeks refuge in a remote motel. Dayana, trapped in a life of unfulfilled desires, becomes fascinated by the young fugitive and decides to give him shelter. But Elias is suspicious of the newcomer. In the simmering love triangle that develops between them, jealousy, desire and revenge collide in a game of power and liberation. As the lines between fear and desire blur, Heraldo and Dayana hatch a dangerous plan to escape their fate—and Elias.
