At the center of the family drama “Father and Stranger” is the story of Diego and Valid, two different people who were brought together by chance in the clinic where their children are undergoing treatment. Diego, an employee of the Ministry of Justice in Rome, is the father of a mentally ill boy. Walid, his new acquaintance, is also treating his mentally retarded son here.
Walid’s appearance soon radically changes Diego’s life – based on platitudes, a new acquaintance teaches him simple things like getting along with his wife, loving his son, and getting better. Gradually, the friendship with Walid turns Diego’s familiar world, changing his notions of what is “normal” and what is not.
However, Walid, as it turns out, is not as simple as it might seem at the beginning of the film “Father and Stranger”. At the very least, the head of the Secret Service who visited Diego says his new friend is the key to the fragile peace balance between Italy and the Middle East. Walid's gone, but Diego doesn't know anything about him. But so did Valide himself. Who is he? A terrorist? A spy? An international criminal?
Torn between loyalty to his country and loyalty to a friend, the protagonist of the film “Father and a Stranger” decides to independently try to find Walid to save him from the corrupt police and the Arabs who pursue him.
