Your best friends? Strangers in rooms. Your homeland? A feeling you can't locate.
We Ourselves is an unconventional drama about isolation and belonging, about being alone with one’s own thoughts while being part of a shared experience, culture and nation. It takes us into the minds and hearts of a group of idealists and careerists as they take their separate paths in life. These people will tell you that they are the best of friends. They believe they are from the same country, yet in the privacy of a room, they are apart, alone and in a state of exile.
