Tamzin Townsend directs Lolita Flores and Luis Mottola in Laurent Ruquier's comedy 'I'd rather be friends', a fun trip with unexpected twists, conversations sprinkled with irony, frustrations and unrequited sexual desire that will be this Thursday, August 10 at 22 : 00 hours in Cartagena, inside Los Veranos de El Batel.
There are places.
"I'd rather be friends."
Who has not heard at some point in his life this terrible phrase?
A sentence that condemns any expectation towards the loved one, which destroys the illusion of being the object of desire, of passion, of forming a couple, of being the half-orange of your love.
The happy ending of your story fades away and your desired lover becomes a friend ...
In this endearing French comedy we see two friends, so close and so comfortable in each other's company, that when one wants to change the rules of friendship, the other is totally blinded and unable to see beyond.
One looks for something more passionate than the sofa, the movie and a pizza in the company of his friend chatting and exchanging stories of conquests.
Frustrations reign and words are filled with feelings not understood, and insinuations and subtle messages are not captured.
The work also raises another universal theme in the feminine world;
The abrupt change of status when you pass a certain age.
The sensation of being suddenly invisible to the opposite sex.
The inner struggle of the self-assured woman, made and right, with a life behind her, independent and self-satisfied, facing the terrible insecurity and the fear of never being more desired or happy in the field Of love.
You're out of date.
The rice is gone!
You have to act now or accept your destiny of 'never again'.
