The Stranger

In a world marked by global tensions, refugee crises, xenophobia and political polarization, THE STRANGER focuses on the psychological mechanisms that drive our fear and fascination with the stranger. With deep human insight, and a cinematic aesthetic characterized by contrasts - between light and dark, fear and hope, fiction and fact - director Simon Staho examines one of the most fundamental and challenging questions in human history: How do we encounter what we do not understand?
