Magic and death come together at “Hotel Delirio”.
Renata is a woman capable of foreseeing the future since she was a child. In one of these premonitions, she witnesses the brutal murder of a person she can’t identify, but she does recognize the place, the “Hotel Delirio”. The enigmatic property belongs to Juanjo, her friend and literature professor at the university whom she hasn’t seen in years. Each room is made in the likeness of his mind: decorated with paintings of David Bowie, vintage style, and surrounded by art and tranquility. Apparently, it doesn’t seem that a violent crime will take place there.
Alerted by the danger her friend faces, Renata travels to Guanajuato to prevent the murder, risking her marriage and reputation. There, she finds who is really in danger, Kika, her friend and former roommate during university. A transgender woman whom Juanjo hides to prevent the hitmen sent by her lover, a married and influential Mexican politician, from ending her life.
The man seeks to avoid a scandal and recover the money Kika stole to escape and start a new life.
Renata does everything possible to prevent the murder, but in a twist of fate, she cannot save her friend. The case sparks media sensationalism among the population.
