× In THE FRIEND, Iris (Naomi Watts), a writer and teacher, finds her comfortable, solitary New York life thrown into disarray after her closest friend and mentor (Bill Murray) dies suddenly and bequeaths her his beloved Great Dane. The regal yet intractable beast, named Apollo, immediately creates practical problems for Iris as well as more existential ones. Apollo’s presence constantly reminds Iris of her friend's problematic choices in both life and death. Yet as Iris finds herself unexpectedly bonding with the animal, she begins to come to terms with her past, her lost friend, and her own creative inner life.
