Goodbye Stranger
Aaron Rookus / NL, 2023 / 82 min.
Aaron Rookus’ feature debut follows Paul, playlist-curator at a streaming service, at a decisive moment in his successful career. But suddenly crushing doubts strike… with Martijn Lakemeier (Oorlogswinter) in the lead, and stunning footage of summer swinging Amsterdam.
Paul seems to have it all: a hip job curating playlists for an equally hip streaming service, a beautiful apartment, a girlfriend: when the sky’s the limit, the future can only get better. When his boss offers Paul a promotion in London with the biggest music streamer in the world, the picture is really complete – or is it?
Pre-screening
Before the screening of Goodbye Stranger you will see the short film P (9') by Aaron Rookus. In this 2014 film starring Rifka Lodeizen, a Dutch family is on its way back from a holiday in Germany. When they look for a parking space, it is now clear that this is probably their last trip together. But then a marital crisis, heat, restless hormones and suppressed frustration intertwine in an unexpected way.
