THE HOLDOVERS
The Holdovers is a comedy drama set in 1970 in a New England Boarding School. It tells the story of a strict Classics teacher, a grieving cook and a troubled student who are forced together whilst stranded at the school over a Christmas break. Eventually, unlikely bonds are formed through their shared experiences of loss and need for connection.
It has won plaudits from critics and viewers alike for its heartwarming story line and powerful performances.
