A dilapidated, formerly glamorous restaurant in the heart of New York forms the setting for Scherfig's ensemble drama. Here the characters are woven in and out of each other's lives, while little by little they discover that hope and salvation can lie in the encounter with new fellow human beings. In uncertain and hard times, where many live on the brink of doom, it turns out that random coincidences and moments of charity can have surprising consequences.
