Flesh hospitality - Shortmoovie by Arturo Prins

FLESH HOSPITALITY, THE GUILTY PLEASURE (2024)

Director: Arturo Prins

Screenwriter: Arturo Prins

Genre: Documentary

Miami, city of eternal party, is a paradise to celebrate the flesh hospitality.
Miami Beach is a paradise attached to hell but separated by a thin line.
One can fall into one of two places in just a moment.
“Mayaimi” comes from the Tequesta Indians. It means “Big water”.
Everything around this city is liquid and unpredictable.
The film explores the tension between the American Dream and the harsh reality of life in Miami.
The protagonist, a Spanish immigrant painter, faces labor exploitation, poverty, and discrimination. Miami, a city built on a swamp, is a microcosm of the social and economic inequalities of America. Millionaires ignore the underprivileged classes, including Latino and Haitian immigrants seeking a new life. The film also analyzes the racism and crime that plague the poorest communities. FLESH HOSPITALITY, THE GUILTY PLEASURE is a raw and poetic portrait of a city full of contrasts and contradictions.
