Joe´s Palace

Joe's Palace explores the relationship between the two central characters, Elliot (Michael Gambon), a reclusive billionaire, and Joe (Danny Lee Wynter), the teenage son of a cleaner who takes care of a grand neighbouring house. The beautiful but dormant house is owned, though not inhabited, by Elliot who lives close by. It has many echoes of the past maybe it was once grand offices, or a place for parties and functions. Elliot has inherited the house and its mysteries from his now-dead father. Part messenger, part protégé, Joe is a link between Elliot and the outside world as their story and the stories of the visitors to the empty house ricochet and reverberate. When Richard (Rupert Penry-Jones), a charming, high-flying politician, conducts a passionate and clandestine love affair with Charlotte (Kelly Reilly) at Elliot's mansion, Joe begins to question his innocent view of the world.
