Our daily interactions with family and strangers range from lowkey to combative, banal to poignant. These films take a magnifying glass to the fraughtest of these junctures, those which expose culture clashes and class divisions. In igniting these moments, they reveal how those in our closest physical proximities are often the furthest away.
