Sam works as a security agent in a shopping mall. On a normal day, a bomb explodes. He tries to save the victims, until something terrible happens. He runs off till he falls down from exhaustion. A woman’s voice makes him raise his head. She’s one of the victims Sam saved. She wants to know why the suicide bomber did it. Thereafter Sam runs into everyone he saved and feels that their defeat shows many parallels with his own. Even the confrontation with the wrongdoer isn’t that straightforward as he thought it would be. Sam finds out that guilt and innocence can be pretty much alike.

Grande Hotel
by Lotte Stoops
Grande Hotel, Beira, Mozambique. In one of the grandest hotels in the world, born of and to luxury, today you enter ‘at your own risk’. More than 2500 people live there without water or electricity. They have taken possession of the building and manipulated not only the stones but also the dreams. A journey through present and past of a city in a city; a story about colonial megalomania, revolutionary vanity and feeling at home.
