We Strangers

Anu Valia, USA 2024, 87’
The French Italian

Ray is offered extra money to clean the homes of wealthy townspeople. What begins as a way to supplement her income quickly becomes something more—an opportunity to step into a world far removed from her own. The film delves into complex themes of race, class, and social status in a manner both compelling and nuanced, earning it a well-deserved award at the Seattle IFF.
