Once at night he was awakened by a bell ringing hollowly through the empty corridors of a suffocating house. And after a while there was a careful knock on the door of his apartment ...

Here everything seems tiresome: the August sun, which like a golden burning ball sinks behind the horizon, reflecting in the windows of an impersonal skyscraper.

Summer is coming to an end, but the city blocks, transformed into gigantic stone ovens, are still emitting steam. The air freezes, and an agonizing loneliness dissolves and thickens again in it...

Adams - a young screenwriter in London - has been trying to write his family's story from the ground for several months. Desperate efforts to overcome the creative crisis only increase internal irritation and appetite, which is quenched with occasional food and another hopeless series. And also the past - it does not calm down, worries and does not let go.

Just at that time, the same timid, rescuing knock on the door sounded.

The unexpected guest - a mysterious stranger. Everything that happened after that seemed completely or unreal - like a dream, like an event created in the imagination.

Adam has been overcome by a bunch of inexplicable feelings and desires, he has discovered the world of throbbing, pulsating tactile pleasures, the new life seems colorful and promising. It might seem that everything will work out, but the ghosts of the past do not retreat and drag him deeper and deeper into the emotional abyss.

To overcome the crisis and get rid of the intrusive memories, Adam goes to the suburbs, to the house where he spent his childhood, and unexpectedly meet the parents there. They look exactly the same as they did 30 years ago when he last saw them...

Balancing between two realities, between regrets for missed opportunities and second chances, Adam tries to find a haven of peace in a world where we are all for each other strangers ...

Director Andrew Hay has created a visually luxurious, devastatingly sad story about love and forgiveness.

But at the same time, this film tells about the fragility of relationships, about the pain that we feel when we lose people close to you. About how much we should be able to say to each other in this short time given to us on this Earth. And the cruel thought that everything could have been different will again and again hit the consciousness like a sharp knife, cutting into the heart only two words - too late.

Viewers' feedback:

,It seems that no movie in recent memory will break you into pieces like this one. Do not try to rationally unravel all the knots of its numerous plot lines in separate threads, let the film take you under its power. The unexpected turn of the film's finale, which shocks, shocks....”

,This film hit my head like a ton of bricks. I looked back at the breath-taking auditorium and realized that almost all of us in this hall had similar feelings. Healing has become a worn-out word, but it really was healing."

The film is inspired by Taichi Yamada's 1987 novel "Summer with a Stranger" (Taichi Yamada - Strangers or Summer of the Strange People).< /p>
