Erected in Belgrade in 1969, the Hotel Jugoslavija was a mythical place. It was the biggest hotel of the Balkans, both a symbol and a witness to the different moments that shaped the country: from Tito`s Yugoslavia to Milosevic`s Serbia; from socialism to corrupted economic liberalism. By exploring the building`s various spaces and eras, by collecting the memories of those who used to inhabit it, the director —of Yugoslavian origin by his mother but born and raised in Switzerland— creates a singular space-time where surface a collective unconscious as well as a part of his own identity.
