| Description |
Now the sky's water, the wind is fire, the earth's a sun and Heaven is death, there are too many ways beyond reason in Hotel Obsino. Clinging like lichen to the banks of a river, an old gothic Hotel houses outsiders who seek refuge from the virtual progress of a digitised technopolis, the delusions they inhabit making life inside the rotting walls real. Enter a naive escapee from a banal system who searches for genuine connection-the Hotel - but is not what he imagined. Exposed, the visitor's life is altered forever.
