Private Project

The Piston

Routine-oriented Harri is looking forward to hook-up with his regular ‘friends with benefits’ partner, but is surprised to find a total stranger at his hotel room door.

The film is a part of The Hotel Room -short film series, in which all eight stories are set in the same room and told by different up-and-coming filmmakers.
