Middle-aged, jaded and divorced, TV scriptwriter, Harada returns one night to the dilapidated downtown district of Tokyo where he grew up. There, at the theatre, he meets a likable man who looks exactly like his long-dead father. And so begins Harada's ordeal, as he's thrust into a reality where his parents appear to be alive at the exact age they had been when they had died so many years before.

Review:
'Memorably uncanny ... the powerful mood of Strangers lingers well after its graceful, downbeat ending has passed.' -- Guardian
'Restrained and moving ... what might have been a simple ghost story evolves into a psychologically acute portrait.' -- Daily Telegraph
‘A ghost story of the highest order.’ -- David Mitchell, Indpendent on Sunday
‘Yamada has really hit the spot with this, his English-language debut ... sparsely written, beautifully atmospheric, wonderfully creepy.' -- Good Book Guide
