A typical melodrama with a rich young man, Petros, who, as usual, falls in love with a poor girl, Vana, and naturally thinks of marrying her despite the objections of his family, who, as always, are opposed to such a possibility. And as if all that weren't enough, everything conspires against them and their life becomes unbearable. However, as usual, our two young lovers draw courage from their love and faith in life, and overcome all obstacles. The ending is happy and joyful, like a promising new year...

Two Distant Strangers (2020) centers around Carter James (Joey Bada$$) as he tries to get back home to his pitbull, Jeter, after spending a night at the apartment of his date Perri (Zaria Simone). What gets in the way of Carter reuniting with his dog is that every time he tries to leave Perri’s apartment, he is killed by police and wakes up back in her bed in a never-ending cycle. It addresses the issue of police brutality which rightly has been in the public eye more and more with the unjust deaths caused at the hands of law enforcement.

The story is a moving sentiment of letting go of the past and putting trust and faith into others. Though you come into this world alone, surrounding yourself with others that support you and want to help is the greatest gift life could ever give.
