THE EMPTY HOURS
Synopsis
On the desolate coast of Veracruz, Sebastián, 17 years old, single-handedly runs his uncle's cozy rent-by-the-hour motel. There he meets Miranda, a regular client, who comes to the motel to meet a lover who always keeps her waiting. During that idle time, Sebastián and Miranda get to know each other, and a brief seduction game begins between them.
