Experiencing Interruptions?

Not Strangers by Marriott

“Not Strangers” is a reunion between two travelers, two humans, two presences, and a space that is defined by the power of self. An invitation to beauty, elegance, and the subtle. The narrative highlights the main aspects of the space and reinforces positivism, joy and well-being. The film does not intend to say, or tell, rather it demonstrates, with the power of synthesis, the atmosphere of a “space” and its importance, far beyond the mere passage that is so often proposed to the traveler, so often neutral, without remark, and without memory. Here the premise is not an invitation to oblivion, it is the creation of a period in time, so unique, that will forever exist in our memories as travelers.
