On a lonely, fog-shrouded Mexican coast, a young man named Sebastián (Kristyan Ferrer) manages a small, nearly abandoned motel inherited from his uncle. The motel’s main clientele are couples who rent rooms by the hour — hence the “empty hours” between check-outs and the next clients. Sebastián’s routine is shattered when Miriam (Adriana Paz), a strong-willed, older woman, arrives regularly to meet a married lover.
