The Winter Guest (1997) was British actor Alan Rickman's debut as a director, and stars Emma Thompson and Phyllida Law. Sean Biggerstaff (best known for his role as Oliver Wood in Harry Potter) is also in it.

Set in Scotland on one cold winter's day, The Winter Guest focuses on 8 people; a mother and daughter, Elspeth (Phyllida Law) and Frances (Emma Thompson); two young boys skipping school, Sam (Douglas Murphy) and Tom (Sean Biggerstaff); two old women who frequently go to strangers funerals, Chloe (Sandra Voe) and Lily (Sheila Reid); and two teenagers Nita (Arlene Cockburn) and Alex (Gary Hollywood).

The plot of the story is interactions between two young boys, two teenagers, a mother, a grandmother, and two elderly women. It can be said though that the main actor in the film is frozen sea, and the rest of the stories are only surreal background to it.
