The Winter Guest

In the chilly winter of a remote Scottish village by the sea, the lives of several inhabitants converge within the span of a single day. The unexpected passing of Frances' husband leaves her grappling with grief and loneliness; seeking solace, her mother Elspeth journeys to her daughter's coastal abode to provide support and rekindle their bond. As the icy winds howl through the narrow streets, the lives of characters both young and old intertwine. The elderly duo of Chloe and Lily attend a somber funeral, while the young rebels Sam and Tom ditch school in search of adventure. Meanwhile, Frances' son Alex, navigating the murky waters of adolescence, finds himself enamored with Nita, a spirited girl who defies traditional gender norms. Amidst the village's tranquil facade, a myriad of emotions and experiences are brought to light as these lives intersect, forming an intricate tapestry of love, loss, and self-discovery in the face of winter's unyielding grasp.
