THE FRIEND
(DER FREUND)

East Coast Premiere—Switzerland—90 minutes

In Swiss German with subtitles.

Written and directed by Micha Lewinsky. With Philippe Graber, Emilie Welti, Johanna Bantzer, Andrea Bürgin, Michel Voïta, and Therese Affolter.

 

Emil idolizes Larissa from afar, avidly listening to her yearning tunes of love at her gigs at the local club. Is it unrealistic for him to dream that someday he may find a girl just like her? Or that she would pay attention to him? A story about a shy outsider and a subtle portrait of loss and personal growth. Produced by Bernard Lang and Anne-Catherine Lang. Director of Photography: Pierre Mennel. From Media Luna Entertainment.


Accompanying short film:
