Noel

Five New Yorkers face Christmas Eve alone in this meditation on what lies at the root of the holiday spirit. Rose (Susan Sarandon) tries to connect with her dying mother. Nina (Penélope Cruz) and her boyfriend (Paul Walker) are in love but must work through his jealousy issues. Artie (Alan Arkin) thinks his late wife’s spirit lives in someone else’s body. And Jules (Marcus Thomas) is a brutalized man yearning for peace. Chazz Palminteri directs.
