Dyanand, 77, takes himself and his son off to the holy city of Varanasi on the Ganges, where, as a devout Hindu, he hopes to break the cycle of rebirth and attain salvation. One checks into the HOTEL SALVATION in order to ”check out.” As the father waits with the other people wishing to die, he seems to flourish more and more, while his son feels more and more unwell. The film ”isn’t a story of death, but of life and relationships that make us who we are” says the 26 year old director about his first feature film, which received standing ovations lasting 10 minutes. A deeply human film, which asks what makes life worth living.
