The Stranger

A writer turns his sense of alienation and isolation during a party in the house of the woman he loves into an astronaut's lonely journey to an unknown planet. Both - writer and astronaut - set out in search of answers and life in hostile environments.

Directed by Tiago Lipka, The Stranger leans on a strong ensemble — Luiz Barotto, Julianne Chaves, Carlos Vilas Boas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2015.
