The Kindness of Strangers Synopsis
Clara and her two sons escape from her abusive husband with little more than their car and plan to start over in New York.

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.
