Heartbreak Hotel S1
Heartbreak Hotel is where lovers go for a tryst, marriages are broken, and new ones are celebrated. For Dede (Jasmine Baroudi, Adam’s Apple, Dede), the beautiful maid at the hotel, this is where she might just meet the right man. She sets her eyes on the wealthy, young Mr Newman (Nana Addai-Boateng), who has just arrived at the hotel for a one-week honeymoon with his bride (Judith Asante).
Accompanying them are their maid of honour and best man (Godwin Namboh, Little Problems, Eden), who is also having an affair with the newlywed wife.
Directed by Prince Andrew Odei (Jupiter Rising, Butterfly Effect), Heartbreak Hotel won Best TV Series at the 2013 Ghana Movie Awards, and also earned lead Jasmine Baroudi a nomination for Best Actress at the 2014 Ghana Movie Awards.
