Hotel Desire is a German drama film directed by Sergej Moya in 2011. The movie revolves around the story of a single mother, Antonia (played by Saralisa Volm) who works as a maid in a hotel. Her young son lives with his father in another city, and Antonia struggles to balance her job and motherhood.

In conclusion, Hotel Desire is an intense and emotional drama that explores the themes of love, desire, and the struggle to balance personal and professional responsibilities. The movie broke taboos in terms of nudity and sexual themes and is a must-watch for those interested in mature and thought-provoking films.
