PARK AVENUE is a poignant and compelling exploration of family, identity, and redemption set in New York City and follows Charlotte, (Katherine Waterston) as she reconnects with her mother, Kit, (Fiona Shaw). There she is reacquainted into the world she had left behind learning to address their unresolved issues in a bittersweet tale of mother and daughter relationships.

After years trapped in a stifling life wrangling cattle in the wilds of Canada, Charlotte escapes her controlling husband in a beat-up 1968 Ford Bronco. Her journey leads her back to New York, where she seeks refuge at her childhood home on Park Avenue. There, her estranged mother, Kit, greets her with sharp wit and a blunt question: “Am I dying?”

Over the course of six tumultuous weeks, Charlotte, fiery and irreverent, clashes and connects with Kit, a master of secrets and lies. Together, they navigate old wounds, shared history, and unspoken truths. As Charlotte reconnects with Anders, the building’s doorman and her former love, she is drawn back into the world she left behind at 18. Set against the vibrant backdrop of New York’s Upper East Side and its colourful, intertwined residents, PARK AVENUE delves into the intricate and messy bond between a mother and daughter.
