Strangers

Seven friends meet up for dinner on a full moon Friday night and deep secrets will come to the surface, shaking their lives and threatening their relationships.

Seven childhood friends with a history and shared experiences from their past, meet for dinner to see together a rare lunar eclipse. This bourgeois and routine event takes a turn as they start playing a game that will change their lives: every message, call or alert they receive on their phone is exposed to the eyes of everyone. Betrayals, lies, secrets and accounts that are 20 years old rise and float to the surface and question the long-standing friendships and internal relationships in it.

One evening, a glass of wine, 7 friends enter a dangerous game: they put their phones on the table and decide that everything they receive that evening, calls, messages, emails, will be answered by a speaker or read aloud.

Les inconnus de la terre starts like a traditional feature film: in the beginning of the film all the leading roles are given a short introduction. This is followed by a number of interviews, in which the makers unashamedly appear themselves. They include an interview with a lonely shepherd and one with three unmarried brothers who try to run the parental farm for better or worse. Notwithstanding the fact that this mode of interviewing has now become classical, les inconnus de la terre works rather refreshingly. The film is more than just an enumeration of problems. In an honest way it shows the ties of those involved to the land and to nature, in addition to being a plea for the modernization of French agriculture.

The group who thinks they are very close friends for so long are in fact alien to each other.

Lurknyc Presents Strangers

A thirtysomething couple invites another couple to dinner in the suburban pad to which they’ve recently moved. Complications ensue. The less you know about this unsettling chamber-piece drama, the better. Suffice it to say, it deftly and deliciously wrongfoots the audience all the way to its enigmatic finale. The pieces of the film’s carefully constructed jigsaw puzzle elegantly slot together; even then, everyone will see a slightly different picture.

Two girlfriends pick up a traumatized woman near the scene of an accident. But something isn't right about their passenger and soon the good Samaritans are trapped in a nightmare ride they'll never forget.

A “doppelgangers” website has facilitated the connection between two complete strangers that look like identical twins. Law firm partner Ko Sau-shing tracks down his former lover Yu Fung, whom he has not contacted for ages, online, and Yu Fung is looking for a part-time boyfriend with a similar appearance to him. Sau-shing arbitrarily approaches applicant Mo Kei-nam, who is a dead ringer for him. The duo also covertly agree to swap identities for two weeks. Sau-shing plays the role of Yu Fung’s “substitute lover”, and deadbeat Kei-nam disguises himself as Sau-shing while simultaneously dealing with his wife Lee Chi-ying and father-in-law Lee Kwun-hang as each and every crisis at the law firm is handled by him. While the identity swapping deadline looms, this pair of lookalikes are eventually shocked to realize their mutual life trajectories are already different from their expectations.

The plot will follow the events of previous film (The Strangers: Chapter 1) while the story will expand in "new and unexpected ways".

Sleepwalker tells three stories against the backdrop of a New Year's Eve: Lola and Paul, who drift aimlessly through the city and provoke complete strangers.

A film about the fear of inner stagnation, while history has picked up full speed again after decades of order. The conflicts of 2020 loom on the horizon, but are still too abstract to be perceived as a serious threat.
