"Familiar Strangers" asks the question. "Is it really possible to relate to ones parents and siblings after being replaced by the family dog? . . . Perhaps as friends - weird friends?" An off beat - funny - heartfelt story of family negotiating the changing relationships between parents and children, especially as those children grow into adulthood.

VIBE

This film feels like a warm, slightly awkward hug from your most eccentric relatives. It's a relatable, offbeat exploration of family ties, filled with gentle humor and genuine emotion as everyone tries to figure each other out.
