The sensational murder trial of a mysterious young man searching for the truth and finding it in surprising places.

Is a man’s inability to cry at his mother’s funeral sufficient evidence to condemn him?

The Stranger becomes . . . even Stranger
In his 1942 novel L’Étranger, Albert Camus asks a simple question: “Is a man’s inability to cry at his mother’s funeral sufficient evidence to condemn him?” Stranger explores this and other existential dilemmas in a fast-paced ensemble drama that follows Mersault’s incomprehensible murder of a man and his subsequent trial.

Ultimately, our story is about an unconventional hero who, without heroic pretensions, agrees to die for the truth.
