A Estranha Hospedaria dos Prazeres (1976) - full transcript

The events of several travelers who stop at a sinister hostel one stormy night.

Power of the powers...

the kingdom of the time...

turn the ashes of nothing...

into everything.

Live to die...

or die to live?

Is there a correct answer?

No!

Only doubts.

Only deductions.

Only the certainty
of the emptiness.



Loneliness is desperately
searching for...

everything or nothing,
the wideness of the gloom.

For the answer
for this riddle...

would be the end
of the mystery...

the end of eternity's secret...

the apogee of happiness...

before an accomplished mission...

because man would be
face to face...

with his best conquest...

the awakening
of the origin itself.

Asking the size
of the universe...

is the same as asking...

what is the end of eternity...

or what is the real
form of God.



How many stars?
How many planets?

How many galaxies are there
in the universe?

These are questions
with no answers...

familiar with an inferior dimension.

Why that?

Why don't you accept
the extinction?

Why fear?

Why the emptiness
of your presence...

if you are superior?

What happens when the deadly mantle
falls down on you?

Only your imagination can tell.

It's the end.

It's the beginning.

Nothing.

Everything.

Yes.

You are afraid of the materialism.

You are afraid of yourself.

Contemplate the cosmos.

Let a mental fantasy flow.

The illusion of the illusions...

searching for a real truth...

a glade in the darkness.

It's the magic of the light
that blunts.

They're breezes
from the breath of life...

that caress your bosom.

The unrestricted joy
that involves your mind.

It's a word that,
like in repeat mode, repeats...

and repeats, but it doesn't say
the magnitude of its meaning.

The light of existence.

The disguise of death
is the awakening of life.

RECEPTIONIST AND CHAMBERMAID

REQUIRED IN A INN

GOOD SALARY
NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

GO TO ESTRADA
DA REDENÇÃO KM 17

I'm sick and tired
of waiting.

Let's see who's lucky.

- Has anyone talked to you?
- We're waiting...

I'm also in this line
for a long time.

- Is the salary really good?
- If it's as announced it's ok.

- I think someone is coming.
- Me too.

You and you.

The rest is dismissed.

But the ad asks for 3 women.

The other 2 have already
been recommended.

I need a job.
I do whatever you want.

Maybe the next time.

At the right time,
I give you news.

- I've decided not to stay.
- I don't want this job too.

You are right.
It is not the right time.

Come back later.
I will be waiting for you.

At the right time,
the right things.

What is written,
not even the time can erase.

Welcome to my home.

The task begins now.

Host your colleagues.

Is the job already ours?

Yes.

- You were recommended.
- But this far?

Will be any guest coming?

For those who look for peace
there isn't a way...

that will not be found.

There are limited vacancy
and they're all reserved.

You can start your job.
The guests want to rest.

Welcome.
You're already registered.

Your room is the number 17.

The gambling table
has already been provided.

THERE ARE ROOMS

It doesn't seem good,
but anyway...

Welcome.

I was waiting for you.

Don't you need our IDs
to check in?

Do not worry about that.
It is all right.

Show them their room.

Hey, man.

- What a rainstorm!
- It really is.

- Excuse me, is there any room?
- Talk to my boss.

The reservation
is already done.

Room 15.

- What a strange place.
- It's my first time here.

Excuse me,
may I ask you a question?

Leo, I love you so much.

My dear.

No, I don't want to know.
It's your problem.

- You solve it.
- But I can't. There's no way.

- It's too visible.
- I've already said.

It's your problem.

I was...

waiting...

for you.

I have a special room
for everyone.

- Room 13.
- It's my lucky number, buddy.

Rest in peace.

Cool.

I don't have money.
I can't ask my husband...

or else he will discover.
Don't you understand?

It's your problem.

Let's make love
in the wardrobe.

Give me this bottle.

Who brought it?
Come on, give me the bottle.

Hey, buddy,
give me this bottle.

The last thing I remember
is the sign on the road...

- Danger: no trespass.
- Cool.

Crazy.

I'm high. I don't even know
how we came here.

You're crazy.

Hey, man. I hadn't seen you.
I thought you were dead.

Give me a break,
are you crazy?

Welcome to my inn.

Unfortunately...

four of you cannot stay.

Go.

God! Sorry,
but this house scares me.

Don't hesitate.
What should be done...

is already done.

Go.

THERE ARE ROOMS

There is no room.
Maybe some other time.

- Mister, it's raining.
- Would you like some coffee?

Our services
are only for guests.

Good night.

Don't worry, my dear.
We will make it.

Emotions do not make any sense.

How important is an object?

How important is
a living creature...

if the true reason for being
is the eternal existence?

- Is there any room for us?
- Talk to my boss.

There will always be a room
for those who volunteered...

or did not volunteer
to be indicated to my house.

I hope we are
in a safe place.

Don't worry.
The important is to make a bankruptcy.

The company is almost
in the share market.

I heard that the poor guy
is gambling all his savings.

He hopes to make
extra money...

to save his hospitalized wife.

- I love you.
- Me too.

Great!
Everybody naked, great!

Everybody naked, great!
Everybody naked, great!

Let's go!
Everybody naked, great!

Everybody naked, great!
Everybody naked, great!

Everybody naked, great!
Everybody naked, great!

Get this.

Everybody naked.

Everybody naked, great!
Everybody naked, great!

Let's do it.
Let's go.

Great! Great! Great!

Everybody naked, great!
Everybody naked, great!

Great! Great!

We won't have rivals anymore,
thanks to our informer.

I hope you understand
my situation.

I can't and I mustn't
show up at Satan.

Don't worry about it.
You'll have a great reward.

Well, to the plans.

- Paid.
- Let's double.

- Bad luck today, isn't it?
- That's it.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
and mine.

Enough. I can't do it anymore.
I've lost too much.

No, please. Don't leave now.
I've lost too much, too.

To prove you I have a good heart,
I'm staying.

This way you get
your money back, ok?

Everybody naked, great!
Everybody naked, great!

Everybody naked, great!
Everybody naked, great!

Great, great!

Come up here.

Good.

Everybody naked, great!
Everybody naked, great!

Let's see, let's see
who shakes better.

Let's go!

- We don't have any room.
- It's not what the sign says.

Gentleman, this place goes
according to my wishes.

Please, I ask you to leave.

Maybe you don't know me.
I'll pay your price.

I can't go on with this rain.

This problem is only yours.

Sorry, I'm sorry.

Take good care of our guest.

It's not over.
I'll make some arrangements.

There is no redemption
for those...

who want to be blinder
than the blind one...

having his sight to see.

Be our guest.

Everybody naked, great!
Everybody naked, great!

Well, let's go to the signatures.

Sign here, please.
All right.

- There.
- Right.

- Here too?
- One minute.

- Here, here and here.
- Right.

- Everything all right?
- Exactly.

- Great.
- Here too. Just sign.

- Very good.
- Sign.

Finally.

You know what you want.

When I had money you kept on
giving me false hopes.

Who is she?
What does she want?

Calm down, Olga.

Put the gun down.
I love you and you know that.

- I know.
- You bastard.

Where am I?

Some acts should not be repeated.

What is done, done is.

Don't try to get rid of things
that are no longer yours.

Don't come back.
Go away now.

Where am I?

God, where am I?

You're where your name
doesn't need to be said anymore...

for what you were looking for
is already found.

Interesting.
They're all showing the same time.

Exactly 5 minutes
after the robbery in the jewelry.

What a storm.

I'm going.
It's three in the morning.

My watch broke at 3:30.

Mine too. But at 4.
Funny.

Funny. We're playing for so long
and it's the same time.

It seems like
the time stopped.

What time is it?

One o'clock.

- What happened?
- The light.

- Which light?
- The light.

The light.

- The light.
- Miriam.

The light. The light.
The light.

The light. The light.

The light. The light.

The light.

The light. The light.

Miriam!

Sorry.

Let your will be respected.

This day shall not be repeated.

Miriam!

Miriam.

Miriam!

Why?

Why?

Why, gosh?

It can't be true.

Why? Why?

It's wrong to search
for happiness...

if you don't know
what happiness is.

Everybody who exists
has the right to know.

The time of truth
has arrived.

The man...

has the right to forgive
his similar's mistakes...

but never his own mistake.

The one who searches for
the beginning of the end...

will find an end...

with no beginning.

Better the dung of life
than life in a worm...

a worm that cannot die
because it does not exist.

And this clock?
Why doesn't it give the time?

There is no punishment
worse than time.

Give time to the time itself...

and fear its arrival.

After all, who are you?

Do not wake up the beast
who lives in me.

Let my rest be
its extinction.

The inn is here.

But this is a cemetery.

That's not possible.

Maybe the crash
did it to you.

Maybe.

THE END
