Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal are going to play lovers in the upcoming film STRANGERS.

He swans around in silky robes over silkier caftans, lounging his days away on soft, fluffy poufs as he plots ways to marry off his teenage daughter (the titular Birdy, played by Bella Ramsey) to a wealthy suitor.
