Osha Is Desperately In Need Of Connection And Understanding. The Stranger Is Kind Of The First Person

Osha is desperately in need of connection and understanding. The Stranger is kind of the first person to provide that for her in a truly authentic way, without trying to make her be anything else [...] I think that kind of understanding has a lot of romantic tension in it. And so, it's sort of born out of those characters, the points they are in their life.
