In the traditions of physical comedy and storytelling of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Jacques Tati, “Strays” presents a moving portrait of a Pakistani immigrant’s search for human connection. Separated from his family, he lives a spare and solitary life as a rideshare driver, experiencing a litany of passing encounters and dancing through daydreams of exhaustion and catharsis. One day, a stray cat enters his life, bringing him the greatest gift of all: friendship.
