Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont DVD Summary
An elderly widow and a young would-be author strike up an unlikely friendship in this
comedy drama
.
Mrs.
Palfrey
(
Joan Plowright
) has been uneasy since the death of her husband, and she decides to move from her long-time home in Scotland to London so she can be closer to her grandson
Desmond
(
Lorcan O'Toole
).
Mrs.
Palfrey
settles into the Claremont Hotel, a shabby residential inn for senior citizens that has seen better days.
She tries to contact
Desmond
, but isn't able to get in touch with him, and at first she has a hard time relating to the other folks at the Claremont, especially friendly busybody
Mrs.
Arbuthnot
(
Anna Massey
).
Lonely and out of sorts,
Mrs.
Palfrey
goes out for a walk one day and takes a nasty spill after losing her balance.
Ludovic Meyer
(
Rupert Friend
), a struggling writer in his mid-twenties, finds
Mrs.
Palfrey
on the pavement and helps her, taking her back to her room and making sure she's OK.
The two strike up a conversation and discover they have a surprisingly amount in common.
A friendship grows between them, even though
Mrs.
Palfrey
asks
Ludovic
to pose as her absent grandson so her neighbors will stop asking questions about him.
Mrs.
Palfrey
even gives her new friend romantic advice, encouraging
Ludovic
to ask a pretty girl he meets at the video store out on a date.
Based on a novel by the British author
Elizabeth Taylor
,
Mrs.
Palfrey at the Claremont
was directed by
Dan Ireland
.
