Because in life, nothing is easy, Scarlett is snowed-in at Heathrow Airport with her sister Mélie two days before Christmas. Because of their father’s recent death, this is the one year they don’t want to leave their mother abandoned at Christmas!

Because in her life, everything is complicated, Scarlett accidentally goes into the men’s room and comes across William, a cynical and provocative Brit. His distinguished charm and composure represent Britain’s best.

The hours spent waiting for their flight that will never leave gives them time to get to know one another. William proposes Scarlett and Mélie spend Chistmas Eve at his home in Kensington, while waiting for flights to start running again.

His invitation is seemingly innocent but will lead the two young women right into a Christmas holiday rich in emotion and big surprises. For William never expected his bourgeois family to show up which can only lead to comedy and dysfunction.
