Written and directed by Andrew Haigh (Weekend; Lean on Pete), All of Us Strangers is based on Taichi Yamada's 1987 book 'Strangers', previously filmed
as Nobuhiko Obayashi's 1988 J-horror The Discarnates.
The film sees Andrew Scott play Adam, a young man who
enters a relationship with a stranger (Paul Mescal) in his London
tower block. This inspires Adam to return to his home town where his
parents (Jamie Bell, Claire Foy) died 30 years ago. Imagine his
surprise when it seems they're still living in his childhood home and
haven't aged a day in 30 years.
All of Us Strangers is in UK/ROI cinemas from January 26th, 2024.

The official synopsis reads:
One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam (Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbor Harry (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.
