They don’t know it yet, but they will forge a friendship during this drive that will change their lives forever.

“All of Us Strangers” earned nominations from the BAFTAs, Golden Globes and British Independent Film Awards. The story follows Adam, played by Andrew Scott, who has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry, played by Paul Mescal, which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life. As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before.

“All of Us Strangers” is rated R and is showing through Feb. 15.
