Talking To Strangers

筋書き

Talking to Strangers is an intimate, character-driven drama that authentically represents people with disabilities—not as defined by their challenges, but celebrated for their individuality, complexity, and desire. The film follows Joshua, a guarded loner living with cerebral palsy who has built a carefully controlled life to protect himself from disappointment. His routine is disrupted when he meets Marty, a vibrant, impulsive young woman navigating her own unresolved struggles. What begins as an awkward encounter between strangers gradually deepens into an unexpected romantic connection, marked by tenderness, curiosity, and growing trust. As their bond develops, Marty challenges Joshua to see himself beyond the limitations imposed by others, helping him step into his full potential. More than a love story, Talking to Strangers is a meditation on possibility, dignity, and the quiet strength found in genuine human connection.
