The motels known from American TV series and films do not have a good reputation. They give shelter to murderers, lost travellers or embarrassed lovers who meet there in secret. Who are their true residents? The documentary shows four of such figures – a middle-aged woman, an obese man with tattoos, a former prisoner and a music lover. What made them make a neglected building on the city outskirts their home? An interesting, albeit dismal, portrait of people who tend to dream the American dream less and less often.
