AMANDA

Amanda, 24, lives mostly isolated and has never had any friends, even if it’s the thing she wants the most. When she discovers that as toddlers her and Rebecca used to spend a lot of time together, Amanda chooses her new mission: to convince her that they are still best friends.

Still a sulky teen at 25, the obstinate anti-heroine of this deadpan comedy finds friendship and fulfillment hard to come by. Both relatable and acerbically absurd, Carolina Cavalli’s directorial debut fizzes with sharp performances and brings new wit to the funny bones of quarter-life crisis films.
