Description:

The gripping drama Stranger explores the profound theme of isolation in a familiar land. Lee Young Ho Jeong Eun Woo, a privileged young man from a high-class North Korean family, crosses the border into South Korea to complete a secret mission. However, his plans are shattered when a sudden car accident leaves him stranded and unable to return home. Forced to survive in this foreign yet strikingly similar society, he must adapt to a completely different way of life. Despite being surrounded by people who look just like him and speak his language, he experiences an overwhelming sense of total alienation. Can this elite North Korean operative successfully navigate the complex social landscape of South Korea and build a new life from scratch, or will the crushing loneliness of being an outsider in a seemingly familiar country consume him? Stranger delivers a poignant look at identity, survival, and the invisible borders that divide us.
