Stranger Things
Oona, a recent university graduate, returns to her mother's house, a small run-down cottage in a quiet village on the south coast of England. Her mother has died several months previously and Oona is left to sort out her belongings and deal with the property. " "After showing a real estate agent around the house, Oona thinks herself alone in her childhood home until a noise in another room alerts her to the fact that there is an intruder on the property. Oona cautiously approaches and as the intruder emerges through a doorway, she attacks him with a broom. The man, a young vagrant of Middle-Eastern origin, flees from the house. " "After the incident, Oona finds a sketchbook belonging to the intruder. Seeing a connection between him and her artist mother, she goes in search of the vagrant and finds him hidden in a bus shelter. Oona invites the vagrant, Mani, to stay in her garden shed. " "Mani leaves Oona, but soon returns to her and the shed. He begins to reach out to Oona as she reaches out to him. As a former anthropology student, Oona is interested in interviewing Mani. Mani is pushed away by her efforts. But despite the space between them, Oona and Mani gradually form an unusual intimacy. " "Oona eventually invites Mani inside her home, where he helps her clean up and indirectly helps her deal with the loss of her mother. However, Mani also has a past that pulls upon him, and which threatens to disturb the bubble Oona and Mani have created around them. " "This delicate and compelling film, set on the south coast of England, explores themes of friendship, grief and human vulnerability.
