In 1867, the writer, mathematician and theologian Lewis Carroll visited Russia. He visited St. Petersburg and Moscow, and from Moscow went to Nizhny Novgorod on the newly laid railway. In Nizhny Novgorod, the English guest visited a fair and a theater, a church and a mosque, admired the river panorama from the Kremlin towers. Carroll described his two-day stay in the Volga capital on August 6 and 7, 1867 in his diary, which became the basis for the script of the film..

The women in this documentary have a lot of cleaning to do. They work in motel El Pasajero, where the guests generally don't stay longer than a few hours. The rooms don't have to be particularly beautiful, either; as long as there's a bed on which the couples can indulge their carnal passions, sometimes under the influence of alcohol and drugs. We don't see or hear much of these visitors, other than the odd leg, disembodied voices and - increasingly as the film progresses - moaning. They are filmed nonchalantly, from a strange, accidental-looking angle, as if they are not important. The visitors are in fact just extras in this love story. How else could you get a positive view of love in a place like this? We follow four female cleaners during their daily rounds. They change the beds, polish the mirrors and energetically wipe down a clinical-looking sex chair..
