Bestie

About a friendship torn between self-promotion and self-discovery: clever, modern and emotional

Can you leave behind the person you’ve always been?

When influencer Anouk starts looking for a new flatmate, she sees the unassuming Delia as a perfect opportunity for a fresh start. Delia (or Lilly as she calls herself) moves in, hoping to become the person she has always wanted to be: a successful playwright. Anouk, for her part, thinks she can use Lilly for her own ends, and increasingly lets her into her life. A relationship soon develops between them which leads them both to question their ideas about success and self-fulfilment – and which might even have the potential to become a real friendship.
