A Bluebird in My Heart

Danny, an ex-con is housebound in a small hotel far from his home country with an electronic bracelet as a condition for his parole. Laurence, the hotel manager, is more than willing to host former prisoners until they get back on their feet – she’s married to a convicted felon who is doing time and she knows how difficult reintegration can be. She’s having a tough time raising on her own her daughter Clara, a diabolically beautiful teenager who is trying to get a bit too personal with Danny. He quickly understands that the young woman is desperately looking for a father figure... but he has to help himself before he can help others.
