Strangers

About The Film

An accidental meeting sparks an improbable romance linking an Israeli kibbutznik and a Palestinian woman in this critically-acclaimed exploration of nationality and the heart. Eyal and Rana (superb improvisation by actors Liron Levo and Lubna Azabal) meet serendipitously on their way to the World Cup soccer finals in Berlin after their bags are mistakenly swapped. A quick magnetic glance on a subway soon becomes an unbreakable bond, even as war in their homeland tests loyalties. Innovatively filmed with handheld cameras and unscripted performances, STRANGERS presents a strikingly realistic treatment of a complex relationship in which politics and personalities collide.

Winner of the Grand Jury Prize in the World Cinema Competition at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
