It's set in a former British seaside resort that's been turned into a vast, crumbling holding station for refugees. The place is called Stonehaven (how's that for an oxymoron?), and into this desolation row arrives Tanya (Dina Korzun), a young single mother from Moscow who has journeyed to England to rendezvous with her fiance. (He never shows up.) Ordered to wait in Stonehaven for six to nine months, she is wooed by a handsome drifter (Paddy Considine), and what happens between them is enough to suffuse this fragile and melancholy anecdote with something like hope.
