Set upon the shores of a picturesque Scottish seaside town in the icy depths of winter, The Winter Guest is a moving, funny and tender story about life, love and the need to feel wanted. Oscar® winner, Emma Thompson and her real life mother, Phyllida Law, bring emotional depth to this often poignant story of four sets of couples, each representing a different generation, from childhood to old age. Frances (Emma Thompson) is trying to overcome the loss of her husband while Elspeth, her mother, (Phyllida Law) is attempting to rekindle the relationship between herself and her daughter. As their lives intertwine with those of two young boys, (playing truant), a teenage couple, (on the brink of sexual awakening) and two elderly ladies, (who spend their time choosing which funeral to attend), their affections for each other begin to thaw, while all around them is cold and snow covered.
