The Winter Guest
“Come In From The Cold”
Drama
It's winter in a small Scottish village near the sea, and multiple lives intersect in a day. Frances has just lost her husband to an early death, so her mother, Elspeth, travels to Frances' house to reconnect with her daughter and grandson, Alex. Meanwhile, old women Chloe and Lily go to a funeral, youngsters Sam and Tom cut class, and Alex gets a crush on tomboy Nita.
VIBE
A quiet, introspective drama set against a stark winter landscape. It feels like a hushed conversation, exploring the subtle currents of grief and connection in a small, isolated community. The mood is somber yet deeply human.
