CGiii Comment

In a modern-day Lisbon, a city caught between locals and tourists, two art students drift through a weekend of sexual fluidity and late-capitalist burnout. Sofia obsesses over nuclear war and lives in the shadow of the narcissistic Amandine but their toxic friendship is put to the test when Amandine crosses paths with Guilherme, a pseudointellectual Portuguese artist, at a fringe art event-derailing both friends' plans. Kiss and Be Friends is an acidic comedy exploring intimacy, identity, and a generation powered by irony, anxiety, and Instagram.
