Rent-A-Friend
When Alfred infers that his girlfriend Moniek is having an affair, he decides to leave Moniek and sets out to show the world that he doesn't have a problem with making money. He starts a company called Rent a Friend and rents himself out as a friend to those in need of one.
The concept is so successful that he is soon running a veritable "friends empire". Things really take off when Alfred hires the highly inventive manager Francoise. Moniek, by this time, is lonely and unhappy - perhaps it is time she calls Rent a Friend?
The setting of Rotterdam skyscrapers and Japanese gardens creates a imaginative background for this modern urban fairy tale. With his new feature Eddy Terstall departs from his well-known approach to love stories. He takes a different approach and leads us on an exciting trip into a world where plastic dreams and true feelings meet each other.
