Legendary Iranian director Bahram Beyzaie’s sophomore feature possesses both the epic dimensions of myth and the hallucinatory atmosphere of a dream. Set around the northern coast of Iran, The Stranger and the Fog begins with a boat drifting onto the shore of a small village. The beautiful Rana hopes the stray vessel has brought back her husband, who disappeared a year ago out on the sea. But the only passenger is Ayat, a stranger with no memory of how he ended up in this land.
