White Palace

Directed by Tony Bill, "White Palace" is a simmering drama about Max Baron, a young Jewish ad executive grappling with grief, and Nora Baker, a free-spirited waitress twice his age. Their instant and smoldering attraction is a combustible mix of desire and defiance, but the gulf between their worlds—class, age, and lifestyle—soon reveals itself as an insurmountable barrier. As Max struggles to keep Nora's secret from his social circle, their relationship teeters on the edge of societal norms, questioning the boundaries of love and acceptance.
