THE FRIEND (DER FREUND) - 2008 - Switzerland
-
In reality Emil and Larissa would never have been a couple – she is an idolized singer, he is a shy outsider. Ironically, Emil is just getting to know Larissa when she dies unexpectedly. He pretends to have been her boyfriend and finally gets the recognition he has always yearned for, with the added bonus of a surrogate family in the form of Larissa’s. Things would be just great if Emil didn’t fall in love - with Larissa’s sister Nora. The more he gets to know her, the harder it becomes for him to pretend.
