SYNOPSIS
When no one knew what a quarantine hotel was, a novice hotel staff takes on the challenge of becoming a quarantine hotel in March of 2020. Despite the fear and uncertainty surrounding the Covid-19 global pandemic, a filmmaker documents and bears witness that “No one is and island” following the quarantine staffs’ journey during the pandemic along with an intimate look inside the quarantine rooms as those returning home face the 14-day quarantine for the first time.
