Synopsis
You used to have to make an effort to overhear other people's conversations. Now you have to make an effort not to. The intimacy of Strangers is a story of life, love, loss and hope entirely constructed out of real, overheard mobile phone conversations of random strangers. Exploring the conflict between the private and public, between being intimate yet distant, the film weaves these seemingly random exhcanges into a modern-day love story that is both absurd and tender.
