Who´s in it?

What´s the plot? We’ve all locked eyes with an attractive stranger on the underground, but most of us haven’t accidentally picked up their bag. That’s how Palestinian Rana (Lubna Azabal) and Israeli Eyal (Liron Levo) meet by chance in Berlin. Eyal promised an ex-girlfriend he’d be there for the 2006 football World Cup, but finds his calls unanswered; Rana is running from something. Two orphans in a strange city, the pair swap bags and decide
to look for somewhere to stay. A holiday romance ensues despite the fact he’s from a kibbutz and she’s from Ramallah.

But Rana has unfinished business back in Paris, and when Eyal follows her their innocent love affair gets a lot more complicated. Will they realise that all they really need to have in common (besides their taste in rucksacks) is each other? Set against the backdrop of the 2006 Lebanon War, Strangers is a beautifully acted, down-to-earth love story with two great leads in the free-spirited Azabal and the handsome Levo, who’s
sure to inspire some swooning in the aisles.
