Ageing spinster Judith is a piano teacher living in 1950s Dublin. Lonely and timid, Judith permits herself to yearn over her new boarding-house neighbor, a former hotel doorman who has recently returned home after many years in New York...
Timid and self-deprecating, Judith Hearne (Maggie Smith in a BAFTA Award winning performance) is a middle-aged piano teacher living in 1950s Dublin. A spinster who yearns for more from her small world, she finds appeal in her new boarding-house neighbour James Madden (Bob Hoskins). A former New York City hotel doorman with a sketchy past, Madden sets about courting Judith in an attempt to bring joy and fulfillment back into her life. But as their innocent friendship develops, soon a shadow of betrayal casts doubt between them when she suspects that he's more interested in her money than her heart.
