The Strange Ones in US theaters January 5, 2018 starring Alex Pettyfer, James Freedson-Jackson, Emily Althaus, Tobias Campbell. Mysterious events surround two. 'Can you tell me where you came from?'

This is a primordial story filled with dreamlike symbols from humanity's past—roads, forests, caves, clouds, the sun—and its characters move through it in the manner of a mid-century American short story, the kind where you're not sure how literally you're supposed to take anything.
