The Stranger

Algiers, 1938. Meursault, a man in his early thirties, a modest office clerk, attends his mother’s funeral without showing any emotion. The following day, he begins a relationship with Marie, a former colleague, and resumes the usual course of his daily life. This apparent normality is, however, disrupted by the presence of his neighbour Raymond Sintès, who drags him into murky affairs, leading inexorably to a tragic event on a beach, under a merciless sun. — Medeia Filmes
