Freunde

With minimal optics and only two characters, a story of friendship, love and a lifetime of hopes and dreams is told with warmth and humor. Two men in the autumn of their years are looking back on their youth, and Anja, the woman between them. Anja was Malte's girl-friend, but ended up marrying Patrick. Some 35 years have passed, since Malte took off to "see the world", leaving his best friend Patrick behind. Both men, back in the day, wanted to break out of the small town cycle with all of rules and ideas their parents had predetermined for them. -

On the very day of Anja's funeral, Malte reappears. Why now? Was it fate that sent him to visit his old best friend? This bitter sweet story tells of more than an old love triangle. It gives the audience a look into the timeless mystery of true friendship, and how it can withstand many transgressions and unwittingly inflicted pain. The time invested in viewing is well spent, delivering many feel-good moments and a satisfying conclusion.
