Trailer and plot of All of Us Strangers

All of Us Strangers sees lonely screenwriter Adam and his mysterious neighbor Harry form a romantic bond with long talks and intimate moments thrown into the mix. Their sizzling chemistry is glimpsed in the trailer through sensual and appealing scenes of the two loving one another intimately.

The word love is thrown around between the two in the trailer as well, as we see the two spill their inner secrets and childhood incidents. Well, mostly Adam does the spilling while Harry patiently and fondly listens. But this sensual love story is fragmented by Adam’s frequent visit to his childhood home and spending hours with his parents. The problem, his parents died in a car accident when he was twelve.

As the audience, we, too, explore the possibilities surrounding the sudden resurrection of Adam’s parents in the film and watch him experience as an adult the childhood and time with his parents he never had.
