Favorite People – The Extraordinary Friendship of Agnes and Amir

The feel-good story "Lieblingsmenschen" tells of an unusual friendship between 101-year-old Agnes, a Berlin original who refuses to live in a retirement home, and 31-year-old Amir, a refugee from Iran seeking a new home in Germany. The two move in together and give each other a new lease on life—a bond that shows friendship knows no age limits. Inspired by a true story, the film celebrates the power of unusual relationships.

Directed by Helena Hufnagl, the cast includes Katharina Thalbach as the sharp-tongued Agnes, Bardo Böhlefeld, Ulrike Kriener, and Noah Saavedra. This heartfelt and profound comedy promises touching moments and a tribute to humanity and togetherness.
