Encounter
“Encounter is a poignant relationship drama, part fairy-tale and part real life.”
Synopsis
Encounter is the story of a missing cat, an unhappy teenager, a lonely little girl, a single mum and a tramp. The tramp, invited by the little girl, comes into the family home at Christmas time and has an effect on each one of them.
