Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont
Director: Dan Ireland
Call No: DVD F MRS
Mrs. Palfrey, an elegant, genteel widow, moves from Scotland to London to be near to her grandson, Desmond. When Desmond makes no effort to contact her at the resident hotel where she is staying (The Claremont), fate brings her together with a young writer, Ludovic Meyer. Ludo ends up helping Mrs. Palfrey by pretending to be her grandson, so that the off-beat elderly residents of the hotel believe that she hasn't been lying. The two newly found friends discover they have a lot more in common with each other then they do with other people their own age. Ludo inadvertently leads Mrs Palfrey through her past; Mrs Palfrey inadvertently leads Ludo to his future. Along the way, a few problems arise when her real grandson shows up at the hotel.
