Sarajevo, June 28, 2014. The manager of Hotel Europe is preparing a European Union Gala to mark one hundred years since the assassination of Franz Ferdinand – the shot that sparked WWI. The hotel staff, however, has not been paid in two months and plans to go on strike. The film based on the play of the French philosopher, journalist and writer Bernard-Henri Levy and the director Danis Tanović offers a satirical parable about political dreams and nightmares. His Hotel Europa, which he portrays from its cellar passageways right up to its sunlit roof terrace, becomes an arena of hope, violence, and death.
