About Katie Fforde: Ziemlich beste Freundinnen
Hasn't every woman ever wondered whether it's best to ditch all the men and just marry your best friend? Paula and Emily are doing just that. Single hotel owner Paula Atkinson and her impulsive friend Emily van Garden have known each other since high school and have always been able to rely on each other. In a love crisis, Emily therefore moves into the "Seaside Hotel" and supports Paula. When Emily catches her fiancé Frank with someone else a few days before the wedding and Paula realizes after an upsetting visit to the doctor that no one will be there for her nine-year-old daughter Lucy in an emergency, the two spontaneously order the posse in a two-girlfriends-against-the-rest-of-the-world moment.
Directed by Frauke Thielecke, Katie Fforde: Ziemlich beste Freundinnen leans on a strong ensemble — Henriette Richter-Röhl, Nadja Bobyleva, Nicholas Reinke — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2018.
