Sansom

Set within the marble halls and shadowed corridors of the Fitz-Water Hotel, Sansom follows Eric, a bellman drifting through adulthood, gambling addictions, and a collapsing relationship while quietly observing the rituals of wealth, service, and moral exhaustion. By day and night, Eric ferries luggage, secrets, and confessions for guests whose money insulates them from consequence—but not from loneliness.

The hotel becomes a microcosm of contemporary society: predatory executives, dying men, adulterous couples, pastors flashing Rolexes, drunks searching for absolution, and staff members who survive through theft, favors, and gallows humor. Eric’s closest companion is Yuri, a reckless room-service server whose defiance of management masks both loyalty and burnout. Together they navigate a workplace that rewards obedience, commodifies intimacy, and quietly corrodes empathy.
