The Kindness of Strangers
A little help goes a long way.
Directed by Lone Scherfig
Produced by HanWay Films, Ingenious Media
A compassionate ensemble drama about broken people finding refuge and redemption through unexpected human connection in a humble restaurant.
Clara and her two sons escape from her abusive husband with little more than their car and plan to start over in New York. After the car towed away, the family meets Alice, who gets them into an emergency shelter. While stealing food at a Russian restaurant called ‘Winter Palace’, Clara meets Marc, who has been given the chance to help the old eatery regain its former glory. The ‘Winter Palace’ soon becomes a place of unexpected encounters between people who are all undergoing some sort of crisis and whom fate has now brought together.
