SYNOPSIS:
"Strangers" is a short film that tells the story of seemingly disconnected strangers around the world, living their lives, but remaining connected by something unexpected.
A young man hiking to the peak of a mountain in the snow.
A little girl honing her rugby skills.
A single mother enjoying time in the kitchen messing about with her two kids.
A pianist performing at a café once again
A dad telling a bedtime story to his kid.
A young graduate capturing a key milestone moment in life with his parents.
An old man enjoying his time feeding birds in a park.
A mother seeing her toddler for the first time ever.
Mundane moments. But there’s one thing that makes them special.
And in the end, we know why.
“Strangers” encompasses the truth that there are strangers who impact our lives in ways that make us feel alive, but also, in ways that make them feel alive.
With “Strangers”, the brand takes on the taboo too but with velvet gloves.
Based on the premise of “we live on through what we give”, the film shares how when we choose to give a part of us to others, we keep a part of us alive in them.

MUSIC:
The music, with its suited and poignant lyrics, is understated, allowing the narrative to breathe without overpowering it, complementing the visual storytelling by enhancing moments of introspection, intrigue and emotional gratification.
As the individual stories emerge organically the music gives equal weight to the narrative, creating a tapestry of emotions without dialogue, helps the film resonate on both personal and universal levels.
The scenes are matched with the music with clear attention to detail, ensuring every frame with its lyrics contributes to the reflective and often contemplative tone. The music with the visuals invites viewers to connect intimately with the subjects, lending a “romantic” atmosphere to the entire film.
The track's mood has a measured rhythm. Its pace is deliberate, giving time to absorb each story and reflective moment.
