Billion Star Hotel directed by Alecs Năstoiu, presents in the leading roles Rudy Moca, Nicu Mihoc, Dan Radulescu and Teo Marton. The film is about the reconstruction of inner dramas of three apparently odd characters – Sica the General, Panait Surdu and Arthur Popescu, who meet at a turning point, on the train of life. This is a story made of many stories, patiently told by Papa Rudi to an unresponsive kid that “swallows” it and painstakingly orders the pieces of this billion star puzzle.
Every day, we’re faced with the following exercise: to give the world around us a certain cue. To smile, to take everything as a joke, to laugh out loud, or to allow ourselves to be overwhelmed by reality. To be painfully aware of the distance between us and our dreams, of the obstacles, and the fact that we are alone all the time. Some choose to escape, to build their own world, with it’s own rules, with the memories of fairytales and dreams that really come to be. A world where three friends are brought together by the same destination. Or maybe, it all comes down to daydreaming. And feeling the empty spaces with music. It all depends on how you choose to see things. In black, in white, or in sync with the beat.
