The Friend
The Friend
Une écrivaine et enseignante new-yorkaise, vivant seule dans son appartement à loyer contrôlé, est contrainte d'accueillir chez elle Apollo, le dogue allemand de son vieil ami et mentor. Celui-ci, un intellectuel don juan, vient de s'enlever la vie. Sa troisième épouse lui a fait un chantage émotif auquel elle n'a pas su résister. Fortement marqué par la mort de son maître, l'animal prend possession de son lit et punit ses absences en mettant son minuscule appartement de Greenwich Village sens dessus-dessous. Mais il y a pire: l'enseignante célibataire risque l'expulsion de son immeuble, où les animaux sont interdits. Alors qu'elle fait des démarches pour trouver un refuge pour Apollo, la vie se charge de l'attacher à ce chien qui le lui rend bien.
