Separate Tables

The documentary delves into the lives of residents like Mrs. Sybil Bloom and Mrs. Muriel McNab, who are both struggling with the reality of being moved from their long-term accommodations. Set against the backdrop of Eastbourne in February, the film highlights the emotional impact of hotel renovations and the decline of resident-friendly establishments.

With just 30 permanent residents remaining on the once-thriving Grand Parade, the documentary paints a vivid portrait of the community that is now at risk of disappearing. It showcases the resilience and determination of these individuals, who have made their homes in these hotels for decades. Separate Tables offers a critical look at the intersection of hospitality and the lives of those who seek a stable place to live amidst changing times.
