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?
