Goodbye, My Friend

2025 · 94 min

A wry, bittersweet French comedy about old grudges and unwanted obligations, with awkward humour and a quietly touching undertow.

Overview: At 35, Étienne still hasn't forgiven his 'friend' Jean-Pat, who made his life miserable throughout his childhood. When he learns of Jean-Pat's death, Étienne isn't exactly devastated... Yet, despite himself, he finds himself organising the funeral of his worst enemy. One thing is certain: Jean-Pat isn't done ruining his life yet.
