Synopsis
Shelter (2014) is a street-level drama you can watch online on iFILM. It marks Paul Bettany's debut behind the camera, with Jennifer Connelly and Anthony Mackie in the leads.
On the streets of New York, two homeless strangers — Hannah and Tahir — drift into each other's orbit. Both carry private wreckage that explains how they ended up sleeping rough. Wary company slowly turns into love, and each of them proves to be the other's best shot at a future. The city is shot cold and unsparing: shelters, addiction, and people the crowd walks straight past.
Bettany wrote the script after a homeless couple near his own home vanished in the wake of Hurricane Sandy, and he handed the female lead to his wife Connelly, who reshaped herself physically for the role. The result is a hard yet compassionate film about dignity at the very bottom. Stream Shelter (2014) online on iFILM.
