On his way to and from breakfast and dinner, Thomas is reminded constantly that he now lives in a hotel which specialises in hosting elaborate weddings. The walls leading from the foyer to the restaurant are covered in soft-focus photographs of beaming brides and grinning grooms, their smiles as big as their hairstyles.
