The brief
ALONDRA is an original advertising concept for an imagined hotel, not affiliated with any real hotel.
A family arrives at a 1920s Mediterranean-revival hotel, each of them somewhere else: on the phone, on a screen, behind headphones. Over one stay, the place quietly brings them back to each other.

The approach
Story first. Amenities second.
Rather than relying on narration or a conventional tour of amenities, the film communicates its transformation through character, performance and visual storytelling. Small moments become meaningful: a phone put away, an evening spent together, a shared view at sunrise.
The hotel is more than a backdrop. Its architecture, atmosphere and experiences create the conditions for the family’s reconnection, without overwhelming the story.
The goal was something more memorable than a showcase of amenities: a cinematic experience that communicates how a destination can make people feel.
STILLS
A shared view at sunrise.
An evening spent together.
The hotel as a setting, not a backdrop.
