The Immigrant

In 1921, Ewa Cybulski (Marion Cotillard) and her sister sail to New York from their native Poland in search of a new start and the American dream. When they reach Ellis Island, doctors discover that Magda (Angela Sarafyan) is ill and the two women are separated. Ewa is released onto the mean streets of Manhattan while Magda is quarantined. Alone, with nowhere to turn and desperate to reunite with her sister, Ewa quickly falls prey to Bruno (Joaquin Phoenix), a charming but wicked man who takes her in and forces her into prostitution. The arrival of Orlando (Jeremy Renner) a dashing stage magician who is also Bruno's cousin - restores her self-belief and hopes for a brighter future. He sweeps her of her feet and becomes Ewa's only chance to escape the nightmare in which she finds herself. (Roadshow Entertainment)
