“Enjoy Your Stay,” the Berlin Film Festival drama from “Goliath” director Dominik Locher and Filipino filmmaker Honeylyn Joy Alipio, has been acquired by Indonesian distributor Falcon and has its Indonesian premiere at Jakarta World Cinema.

The film follows Luz, an undocumented Filipina cleaner at a Swiss luxury ski resort.

“We heard about [stories of] Indonesian people working in nail salons in Swiss cities during our research. That’s even the worst situation in some cases, and we were really hoping that this movie could also speak for Indonesian people,” Locher says.
