Synopsis:

In Pawel Pawlikowski's drama, Dina Korzun plays a young Russian woman named Tanya who goes to England with her sullen preadolescent son in search of a fresh start. She explains to the impassive customs officials at the airport that her fiancé will be meeting her shortly, but he seems to have made other plans. And so they find themselves in the desolate seaside town of Stonehaven, whose crumbling high-rise hotels and shuttered amusements have been converted into a 'designated holding area' for illegal immigrants. The thoughtful stylishness of Pawlikowski's direction doesn't cheapen or aestheticize Tanya's plight but rather extends to her the dignity and compassion that only art can confer.

When a young Russian woman and her son leave Moscow to meet her fiancé, who fails to show up, she declares political asylum.
