Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Theyboth carry the bittersweet, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Friend, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Begegnung am Vormittag is
Here's a film that asks if a May-December romance can bloom between hippies and real-estate men. Frank, a divorced cynic, meets Breezy, a care-free girl, and an unlikely relationship develops. It did fairly well at the box office, but Eastwood never starred in another romance.
