M（鲁妮·玛拉RooneyMara饰）和C（卡西·阿弗莱克CaseyAffleck饰）是一对十分恩爱的恋人，在一场车祸中，C不幸死去，将心碎欲绝的M孤零零的留在这个世界之中。然而，C却并没有真正的离开，他依然以灵魂的形式留在他和M一起生活过的那幢房子里，留在M的身边，沉默而又深情的看着他生前的恋人的一举一动。C的离开让M陷入了绝望和痛苦之中，她哭泣、抑郁、自闭，仿佛生活在真空里。M决定从房子里搬出去，可是C无法离开，他只能继续的等待着等待着，支持着C的，是M曾经留在墙缝里的一张字条。新的住客来了又走，无限的时间永恒的流逝着，某日，拆迁队将C所在的屋子拆除了，一片废墟之中，C发现，原来被困在无尽的等待中的，并非只有他一个。

　　故事发生在1977年的英国伦敦，一位名为谢波德（玛吉·史密斯 Maggie Smith 饰）的老太太开着她的姥爷车来到了一个位于这里的中产社区中。谢波德没有家，吃喝拉撒都在自己的车里，换句话说，在别人的眼中，她就是一名脏兮兮臭烘烘的流浪汉。
　　在这个社区里生活的中产们凭借着他们出色的教养容忍了谢波德女士的入侵，然而他们的善良和宽容却并没有换来谢波德太太的好脸色。这个脾气又倔又犟的老太太让生活在这里的人吃尽了苦头。久而久之，没有人再搭理谢波德太太了，除了一个看上去憨憨的剧作家阿兰（阿历克斯·杰宁斯 Alex Jennings 饰），他不仅每天都对谢波德太太笑脸相迎，甚至同意她占用自己家的车道停车。
