Synopsis:

The mysterious arrival of a foreigner to a small village in a Mediterranean island, awake the sudden interest from a diverse group of residents, who will appear unexpectedly in the stranger's life, believing that he's going to reopen an old shop. In contrast, the real intentions of the stranger are hidden behind an old Polaroid photo, which has led him to that place in search of answers.

Distinguished mainly by its lovely lensing of the Spanish countryside, 'The Perfect Stranger' is a pleasant but feeble fish-out-of-water dramedy that never finds a confident groove or delivers a single surprise. Colm Meaney is likable enough as a taciturn Irishman who takes up residence in a Majorcan village where he doesn't speak the language; naturally, his neighbors mistake his incomprehension for insight, and Arturo Ruiz Serrano's script proceeds to distribute magical solutions and romantic payoffs like confetti. Toni Bestard's helming debut could enjoy limited theatrical sojourns en route to its smallscreen destination.
