About Staring at Strangers Movie:
Staring at Strangers (Spanish: No mires a los ojos) is a Spanish-Belgian thriller drama film directed by Félix Viscarret adapting the Juan José Millás’ novel Desde la sombra. Its cast is led by Paco León, Leonor Watling, Àlex Brendemühl and María Romanillos.
An adaptation of Juan José Millás’ novel Desde la sombra, the film was penned by Félix Viscarret (the director) alongside David Muñoz. It is a joint Spanish-Belgian international co-production, produced by Tornasol and Desde la Sombra Árbol A.I.E., alongside Entre Chien et Loup, with the participation of RTVE and Movistar+. Shooting began in January 2021 in Pamplona, and it had already wrapped in March 2021.
Staring at Strangers had its world premiere as the opening film of the 67th Valladolid International Film Festival (Seminci) on 22 October 2022. It is set for a 4 November 2022 theatrical release in Spain. Upon the film’s release, lead actor Paco León described his character as “nearly Galician” to imply the character’s introverted nature (in a deviation from the actor’s traditional comedy roles), ensuingly eliciting controversy and public scrutiny.
Staring at Strangers Movie Storyline:
Damián has just been fired after 20 years working in the same company. His furious and somewhat violent reaction leads him to run to escape from his boss and hide from him in the first place he finds when leaving the office: a closet loaded into the van. The closet with Damián inside is delivered to the house of Lucía and Fede, a couple who lives with their daughter, María. That same night, an unexpected impulse leads Damián to stay with the family to become a mysterious presence that he will observe and move from the shadows. From then on, Damián becomes the family’s guardian angel.
