The Literary Man in Óbidos is a former convent turned hotel with nearly 100,000 books lining every hallway — and an entire medieval town that's just as obsessed with reading as it is.
A remote Australian town with two residents, six empty cottages, and a runway waiting for planes that rarely come—The Big Wait is a quiet ode to hope, hospitality, and life off the grid.
