"When two travellers mistakenly exchange baggage on the Berlin U-Bahn during the 2006 World Cup, little do they know the effect it will have on their lives. Eyal, an Israeli backpacker and Rana, a Paris-based Palestinian decide to bunk down together, and as the city celebrates Germany's victory in the world game, they realise their attraction. When Rana suddenly returns to Paris, Eyal begins a frantic search for this new love. Filmed in real-time against the backdrop of Germany's triumph at the World Cup and the 2006 Israel-Hezbollah War, Strangers is the tale of how fate can throw two lovers together and then pull them apart. Will they be able to overcome the heated differences between their cultures, so far from home?"--Container
