But when he fails to return her calls or visit her at the less than posh Claremont Hotel, fate brings her together with a young writer, Ludo (Rupert Friend), after she has an accident outside his basement flat. Eventually, Ludo ends up helping Mrs. Palfrey by pretending to be her grandson, so that the other off-beat elderly residents of the hotel believe that she hasn t been lying, and that she really does have a grandson.
