The Kindness of Strangers: Kleine Wunder unter Fremden (2019)
Mit ihren zwei Söhnen auf der Rückbank kommt Clara im winterlichen New York an. Was für die Kinder als Abenteuer getarnt wird, stellt sich bald als Flucht vor dem gewalttätigen Ehemann und Vater heraus. Die drei besitzen wenig mehr als ihr Auto, und als das abgeschleppt wird, stehen sie mittellos auf der Straße. Doch die kalte Großstadt zeigt Güte: Die Familie landet im russischen Restaurant Winter Palace, geführt von dem charmanten Timofey und dem attraktiven Ex-Häftling Marc, der hier eine zweite Chance bekommen hat. Das Winter Palace wird zum Ort der unerwarteten Begegnungen von Menschen in Lebenskrisen, deren Schicksal sich durch die Freundlichkeit von Fremden auf wundersame Weise zum Guten wendet.
