Like Friends

Like Friends, the highly anticipated new film by director and producer Marcello Crea, is set to make its exclusive debut on the satellite TV platform Orion TV on Saturday, January 25 at 5:00 PM. The TV movie will then be distributed on major television channels around the world.
After the success of his previous works, such as When Everything Is Possible and All Broke, which received great acclaim especially on Prime Video, Marcello Crea returns with a production that promises to capture the attention of the international audience. With a compelling storyline and a cast that includes, in addition to Marcello Crea, young newcomers to the cinema, Like Friends tackles current and profound themes related to technology and the ethics of artificial intelligence, while also offering an important showcase for new talents.
Set in the near future, the film follows the story of Achille Diamante, a successful broker whose life changes radically with the arrival of Kelly, a human-like android. Amid international intrigues, government secrets, and plot twists, Like Friends explores the boundaries between human and artificial, posing crucial questions about identity and freedom. A revolutionary film that challenges the norms of big-budget film industry productions.
Marcello Crea, known for his innovative approach, has managed to overcome the barriers often faced by independent cinema. His current work is a blend of emotional storytelling and a critical vision of the contemporary world. "With Like Friends, we wanted not only to entertain but also to reflect on our relationship with technology and the future of humanity without rhetoric, but with unexpected moments of irony," said the director.
The film was shot in Trieste, a city whose historical charm perfectly intertwines with the futuristic setting of the plot. Thanks to its unique vision and ability to combine suspense and lightness, Like Friends is poised to be an absolute novelty for cinema lovers.
