Two elderly women enjoy a moment of tender intimacy in a nursing home bed. The following day the children of one of the women, her daughter Adrienne and son Stewart, are called to the home to discuss the issue with staff. Strangers is an emotional, but often humorous exploration of the complexities of ageing and care.
