Mescal’s Fascination with His Character, Harry

A Tale of Love and Mystery: The Plot of ‘All of Us Strangers’
All of Us Strangers weaves a mysterious and emotional tale. It centers on Adam, played by Scott, a screenwriter who returns to his childhood home only to discover a shocking truth. His parents, portrayed by Claire Foy and Jamie Bell, appear unchanged despite being dead for over 30 years. Amidst this mystery, Adam falls for his intriguing neighbor, Harry, igniting a story of love and intrigue.
Andrew Scott’s Joy in His Identity
Scott also shared his profound happiness about being and playing gay. Speaking to Attitude, Scott calls it an “extraordinary privilege” and feels “lucky” to have this identity. His role as Adam in Andrew Haigh’s acclaimed drama allows him to explore deep emotions and connect with audiences on a personal level.
“When we read positive things or see representation on screen, when we see ourselves, we think: ‘Oh, well, we can forge a way in the world’. That’s why a movie like this is so important, because it’s incredibly compassionate and tender, but it also doesn’t erase the fact that it’s painful and it can be lonely being gay.
