Netherlands, 2001 - 106
Wanda, Sonja, and Michelle - three sisters - yearn to move to Hotel Paraiso, the idyllic Portuguese seaside resort in which they spent their childhood. Their dream is shattered, however, when their brother Nino announces his intentions to marry, since upon his nuptials, he will inherit the hotel. Nino's motives for marriage are suspect, since the sisters had long recognised that Nino is gay. Erotic and domestic complications ensue.
