In this hauntingly poignant and provocative story about love, family, and the ghosts of our past, Adam lives a solitary life until one night, a mysterious neighbor pays him a visit and stirs up emotions and memories he’d long blocked out. As the two find connection and an undeniable attraction, Adam is pulled back to his childhood home, where his parents appear to be living, 30 years after they died. What would you say – and what would you discover – if you could live one more day with the people you loved most?
"A melancholic queer drama by Andrew Haigh about healing the pain of the past to open ourselves to the future. With discreet fantasy elements, 'All of Us Strangers' is the story of a solitary writer, Adam (Andrew Scott, Fleabag), who lives alone in a remote London apartment tower, where his only neighbor is another man named Harry (Paul Mescal from Aftersun). However, he resists contact with him. In search of inspiration, he decides to travel to the house where he grew up before his parents' death, but to his surprise, he finds them alive and happy to reunite with him after so many years. The film doesn't bother with explanations, as its goal is to tell a story about conversations that never took place, apologies that never arrived, and traumas that were not healed, with powerful performances, beautiful visual metaphors, and a soundtrack that only enhances its bittersweet nostalgia."
