Young Stella's sudden return from American boarding school and her fervent desire to return to the country house of her childhood is a welcome opportunity for her mother Maria and stepfather Carl to reconcile with their estranged daughter. But the unexpected appearance of Ben, the daughter's new, much older boyfriend, considerably disrupts the family's intimacy. The distant idyll becomes a nightmare and the scene of a brutal murder.

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.
