I Was a Stranger

A doctor, a soldier, a smuggler, a father, and a captain. Each with their own story, each on their own journey. Their paths cross when the Syrian civil war forces them to leave everything behind, in a desperate search for safety and a place where they can belong. This poignant drama featuring, among others, Omar Sy (Intouchables) shows the heartbreaking pain, the continuous danger, and the fragile beauty of people who, despite everything, find the courage to start over, even when they have to leave everything they hold dear behind. The film forces you to reflect on choices surrounding survival, fear, duty, and humanity.
