Synopsis
The film is set on a bus in Israel and tells the story of a chance meeting between two individuals:
Jamil: An Arab man.
Arik: A Jewish man (a religious settler).
Despite their immediate mutual distrust and deep ideological differences, the film forces them to confront their preconceptions about one another when they both become suspicious of a backpack left on the bus.
It is a powerful, concise exploration of prejudice, shared humanity, and conflict in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian situation. Its success led the directors to develop the idea further into a feature film.
Connection to the Feature Film
The short film Strangers served as the basis for the 2007 feature-length film, also titled "Strangers", directed by the same duo. The feature film expands the story, following the couple—Jamil and an Israeli woman named Eyal—who meet during the 2006 Lebanon War and are later forced to pretend to be a couple while trapped in a foreign airport.
