"Some places are like people: some shine and some don't" - to quote a classic. Les Moires Hotel is the only shining point for many kilometres. Away from the popular tourist trails, it exists as if there were no time - it doesn't age, it doesn't age, it just is. It is said that time passes more quickly high up in the mountains, although the differences are not noticeable to humans. Although Les Moires itself does not experience time, the destinies of its inhabitants are accelerated compared to what happens closer to the ground. The fact that this acceleration is noticeable contradicts all the laws of classical physics. Minutes and seconds seem to be more compressed in time, so that there are more of them in one day and one night than would be measured by a simple clock. In the suspicious acceleration of time, a certain property of the physical world, which could be called the quanta of events, is also accelerating.

What is meant by the term "quantum"? The word quantum is Latin for "how much". In physics, a quantum describes the smallest portion that any physical quantity can hold or change in a unit event. Simply put, a quantum is a portion that cannot be divided. A cake cannot be cut infinitely. There is a smallest possible slice that can be given to a guest.

Life is made up of quanta of events. Events happen one after the other, lined up in a story. The multiplicity of events, feelings and relationships are fragmented in a narrative that divides into the past, the present and an unknown future. We call it life, biography, destiny. Time governs each story and makes stories intelligible. First there is a cause, then an effect, and an action causes a rebound. But when time begins to accelerate, it ceases to be time and becomes something we no longer understand by nature, a multiplicity of quantum events ceasing to average out into a reality that can be understood and comprehended."

This is exactly what happens on a summer evening in 1938 in the Les Moires hotel in the Swiss mountains, barely making ends meet. The physical properties of space and time are disrupted. The hotel guests themselves are also affected. Something begins to change in their memories, attitudes, emotions and desires. Nobody understands what is happening.

Among the guests is the famous German physicist Werner Heisenberg, author of the uncertainty principle. Isn't the reality of large objects such as a desk, a hotel and mountains beginning to behave like the reality of elementary particles? According to Heisenberg, particles can only be spoken of in approximate terms, describing their states rather than themselves. Only by changing their thinking from what is an object to what is the state of an object can hotel guests understand what is happening to and around them. They have come to Les Moires to see the world from the perspective of the high mountains. To look for a deeper meaning in the big picture. What if this meaning can be found not in the Swiss landscapes, but in a single quantum: an emotion, an event, a communication?
