THE IMAGINARY FRIEND

  • Belgium 🇧🇪
  • Netherlands 🇳🇱
2023
26 min.

Become an Imaginary Friend! A grieving child struggles to separate reality from fantasy. He creates YOU–his (imaginary) friend–to fight the monsters in his mind. Although you have fun together, he starts to grow disconnected from his surroundings… Are you helping, or just making things worse?
