Missed You Stranger is a set of films celebrating the return of the festival and party scene. The films zoom in on unexpected encounters with random strangers: a sloppy kiss where tongues flail and wrestle one another until it becomes mesmerising to behold, drunk strangers bumping into you on a visit to the urinals, or the hairs on your arms intertwining in a satisfying way. These scenes were narrated by the inner voice of the protagonists, who would normally be disgusted by the strangers, but after being deprived of human contact for so long, they actually embrace this moment.
