Eleanor Oliphant lives a rigidly controlled life of routine and isolation, convinced she's perfectly fine despite drinking alone every weekend and avoiding human connection. When a simple act of kindness begins to crack the protective walls she's built around herself, Eleanor must confront the dark past she's been hiding from and learn how to truly live rather than merely survive. A poignant and darkly funny journey of self-discovery that explores the transformative power of human kindness and the courage it takes to face our deepest wounds.
