- A unique portrayal of two young amateur actresses embarking on a journey that will forever change their lives as they star in the most eagerly anticipated new show of 2018-Elena Ferrante's My Brilliant Friend. Naples 2017. The news spread fast. Ferrante's saga, a worldwide phenomenon selling over 13 million novels, is about to become a major TV series for HBO and RAI. Thousands of young girls audition for the parts of the main characters Elena and Lila...but only two succeed. The lives of Margherita Mazzucco and Gaia Girace, cast as Elena and Lila, are about to change in an unimaginable way. An event within the event, this remarkable documentary captures the adventure these two non-actors will go on-from the open casting call of 2,500 hopefuls, through to the show's Venice Film Festival premiere. This is an exclusive look into them experiencing a true Cinderella story, where two unknown, ordinary teenagers embark on roles of a lifetime. The documentary is an intimate portrayal of this unique story, starting with the girls as complete strangers through to their journey of becoming close friends. It documents the transformation of two 15-year-old actresses, their friend-ship, the highs, the lows, the challenges, the rewards, the ordinary and the extraordinary. It is a genuine coming-of-age story as they learn their craft and become embedded in a world they only ever dreamed of. It not only explores the rapport between the two actresses, but also draws parallels to Elena and Lila's relationship and how at times the lines between reality and fiction, person and character, can blur.

- Die 42jährige CHRISTINE (Claudia Michelsen) ist eine attraktive und beruflich erfolgreiche Frau mit einer eigenen TV-Talkshow. Privat lebt sie mit ihrem ebenfalls attraktiven und beruflich erfolgreichen Ehemann zusammen, GEORG (Ulrich Tukur) ist Ende Vierzig und ein viel beschäftigter Arzt. Komplett ist die Familie mit der vierzehnjährigen Tochter SONJA (Vanessa Krüger), die gerade rasant dem Nesthäkchen-Alter entwächst. Während die Familienidylle nach außen gewahrt bleibt, trifft Christine sich heimlich und regelmäßig mit einem Freund der Familie MARTIN (Tobias Moretti) ist seit längerem ihr Geliebter, doch in Christine regt sich Widerstand gegen diese allzu reglementierte Sexbeziehung. Dass auch Ehemann Georg fremdgeht, ist ihr bewusst. Dennoch bemühen sich beide, den Ehealltag mehr oder weniger angenehm miteinander zu leben. Zusammen macht sich die Familie auf den Weg in ihr Urlaubsdomizil am Mittelmeer. Als Christine im idyllisch gelegenen italienischen Ferienhaus ihr Schlafzimmer beziehen will, liegt ein gut aussehender junger Mann, der Tramper TAMAZ (Jacob Matschenz) in ihrem Bett. Er flirtet kurz mit der überraschten Christine und haut ab. Obwohl sie den Vorfall gleichmütig beiseite schiebt, geht Christine der fesche Tamaz nicht aus dem Kopf. Abgelenkt wird sie nur von der Tatsache, dass Tochter Sonja über Nacht nicht nach Hause kommt. Was Christine nicht weiß: Sonja ist wild entschlossen, in diesem Urlaub zum ersten Mal mit einem Jungen zu schlafen. Christine ist über Sonjas Selbständigkeit besorgt, ihr Mann Georg beruhigt sie. Doch Christine hat große Schwierigkeiten mit dem Erwachsenwerden ihrer Tochter und kommt damit überhaupt nicht zurecht. Als sie wieder auf Tamaz trifft, der ebenso fordernd wie unwiderstehlich mit ihr flirtet, bleibt Christine, aufgekratzt und unruhig wie sie ist, dem frechen Schönling nichts schuldig. Kurz entschlossen bestellt sie ihn für den nächsten Nachmittag zu einem Tête-à-tête in ein Hotel. Auf der Terrasse des Ferienhauses bereiten Sonja und Georg inzwischen Christines Geburtstagsfeier vor, bei der als besondere Überraschung plötzlich Martin und seine Frau LINDA (Petra Morzé) vor der Türe stehen. Als Martin und sie kurz alleine sind, wirft Christine dem heimlichen Geliebten zornig vor, dass er ihren ausdrücklichen Wunsch, ihn nicht sehen zu wollen, ignoriert hat. Die Situation eskaliert und die wütende Christine wird handgreiflich. Immer noch sauer verlässt sie ihre Geburtstagsfeier und trifft Tamaz wie verabredet im Hotel. Dort will sie zwar gleich zur Sache kommen, doch ganz so cool gelingt ihr das dann doch nicht und sie zeigt Tamaz, dass sie in Wahrheit große Angst hat verletzt zu werden. Die beiden verbringen den Rest des Tages im Bett, leidenschaftlich, glücklich, verliebt. Als Christine zum Ferienhaus zurückkommt, wird bei einem nächtlichen Gespräch mit Linda klar, dass diese von dem Verhältnis zwischen ihrem Mann Martin und Christine weiß. Linda hat sich aber so scheint es damit arrangiert. Immer krasser steht Christine das von ihnen allen getragene Lügengerüst vor Augen, immer absurder erscheint ihr die ganze Situation. Nur rückhaltlose Offenheit, die ebenso ungewohnt wie verletzend ist, scheint ihr eine Chance zu sein, Leben in ihr stagnierendes Dasein zu bringen. Christine und auch Georg erkennen, dass es keine ideale Lösung geben wird, aber es dennoch möglich sein könnte, die leeren Gewohnheitshüllen zu vermeiden, und miteinander lebendig zu bleiben!
