They meet in Berlin during the frenzy of the World Cup finals where relief at running into somebody from “home” quickly turns to desire. Can love trump politics? Sexy, brave, and provocative, Strangers is a true high wire act. Working without a script, directors Erez Tadmor and Guy Nattiv shot on location on the fly and actors Lubna Azabel and Liron Levo improvised. Wondrously, the story emerged. A Grand Jury Prize nominee at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
