Mrs. Palfrey at the Claremont (2005)

Description

One Chance Meeting, Two Changed Lives Mrs. Palfrey (Joan Plowright), an elegant, genteel widow, has come from Scotland to London to take up residency at the Claremont Hotel. Though she had high hopes for the cosmopolitan pleasures of living in the big city, such as attending lectures and concerts, as well as making a wider assortment of aquaintances, she is soon filled with a sense of unease and slight gloom as she surveys her drab surroundings at the Claremont. The only bright spot in her decision to come to London is the fact that she will be closer to her only grandson, Desmond.
