Sisters Nari and Hana grew up watching illegal Hollywood films. Following their forced escape from North Korea, when their neighbour tips off the police about their father’s black market VHS business, the sisters use their imagination to escape into fantastical reenactments of their favourite films in order to survive the journey. Five years later, older sister Nari finds an unlikely ally in American talk show host Serena, who promises to reunite the siblings on live television. But the broadcast reveals far more than anyone expected.

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.
