My Best Friend
Updated: 2007-07-09 14:59
Francois is a middle-aged antique dealer. He has a stylish apartment and
a fabulous life, but at a dinner with a group he considers his dearest
acquaintances, he is blindsided by the revelation that none of them
actually likes him. He's arrogant, self-centered and harsh, and they
don't believe he knows the meaning of friendship. His business partner
Catherine makes him a bet: if he can produce his best friend, she will
let him keep the massive Greek vase he acquired that afternoon on the
company tab. If not, it's hers. Having accepted the wager, Francois
naively tears through his address book, trying to shoehorn an
increasingly unlikely series of contacts into the all-important role.
Moving through Paris, he keeps encountering a trivia-spouting,
big-hearted cabbie named Bruno. Bruno's chatty, lowbrow ways grate
against Fran?ois' designer temperament, but he covets the other man's
easy way with people. He convinces Bruno to teach him how to make friends
and sets about learning the "Three S" rule: being sociable, smiling and
sincere--although, for him, they don't come easy. Ultimately, Francois'
victory will depend on Bruno's naivete in playing along, but what's the
cost of cheating at friendship?
