Storyline
Don, a wealthy restaurateur known for his opulent lifestyle and renowned dining establishment, encounters Joyce, a homeless woman seeking a meal at his restaurant. Dismissing her with disdain, Don's cruel treatment leads to unforeseen consequences. Over the course of the film, Don begins to experience a series of events that force him to confront the stark realities of Joyce's life and the impact of his actions. As he slowly unravels the layers of his own prejudice and begins to see Joyce's humanity, Don's transformation is profound, but his journey of redemption remains incomplete. Will Don find a way to truly make amends, or is his path to redemption lost forever?
