The Lady in the Van (2015)
In den 1970ern trägt sich in Camden Town eine außergewöhnliche Geschichte zu: Im Londoner Stadtteil, überwiegend bewohnt von reichgewordenen Alt-Linken, möchte eine exzentrische, obdachlose alte Dame namens Miss Shepherd ihren kaputten Van in der Auffahrt von Theaterautor Alan Bennetts Anwesen abstellen – nachdem ihr von der Stadt verboten wurde, weiterhin auf Straßen zu parken. Bennett sagt zu, doch aus dem „kurzen“ Parken des Wagens werden 15 lange Jahre, in denen Miss Shepherd in ihrem Van vor Bennetts Haus lebt. Die unverhoffte Nachbarschaft bringt einige Probleme mit sich, denn Miss Shepherd ist undankbar, hat einen unangenehmen Körpergeruch und verteilt gerne ihren Müll auf der Straße. Aber Mister Bennett bringt es nicht übers Herz, die Dame abzuschieben…
