IRINA PALM

What would you do to save the life of your terminally ill grandson? Marianne Faithfull plays Maggie, a quiet retiring grandmother who finds herself helpless as her grandson’s health deteriorates. When one last chance appears, but money is desperately short, Maggie acts to raise the cash in a fashion that surprises everyone but her. Walking through Soho, Maggie sees an advertisement for “hostess”. And thus begins an extraordinary tale of redemption, sacrifice, and a rich vein of humour and humanity. Miki, the chain-smoking club owner with a jaundiced life view thinks he’s seen it all. But he’s never seen anything like Irina Palm, the mysteriously successful relief worker whom he employs. “4 stars – Film of the Week” – Who Weekly “Marianne Faithfull is unforgettable…crowd pleasing drama” Screen International
