SYNOPSIS
Eros delves into the depths of one of Brazil’s most notorious and cherished institutions: The Love Motel. An integral part of the urban landscape and the daily life of Brazilians, Motels are associated with erotic transgression, but also with romantic love. Through intimate and at times erotic footage, filmed by the participants themselves, Eros presents ten stories from within the four walls of 10 different motel suites. The compilation of stories provides a prism into the unique and singular ways in which people conduct their intimate and romantic relationships and how these behaviors reflect on broader social norms and realities. The film reflects on the immense diversity that exists in ways of relating, questioning preconceived ideas, provoking the spectator to reflect on their own ideas about intimacy and romantic love
