The Ferris wheel is a good place for a last date, because the circle describes all the stages of a relationship. At the bottom, you go into a booth together, go up to the peak, and then everything goes down again. Moreover, no matter how much you swear at the top, you still have to get out of it together at the bottom. During this time, the characters manage to piss each other off, drink, make a wish, swear, hug goodbye and even literally leave the heart.

Clara and her two sons escape from her abusive husband with little more than their car and plan to start over in New York. After the car towed away, the family meets Alice, who gets them into an emergency shelter. While stealing food at a Russian restaurant called ‘Winter Palace’, Clara meets Marc, who has been given the chance to help the old eatery regain its former glory. The ‘Winter Palace’ soon becomes a place of unexpected encounters between people who are all undergoing some sort of crisis and whom fate has now brought together.
