ABOUT THE FILM

| Do you need a 'cultured boyfriend' to impress your friends? A 'perfect son' to influence your business partners’ opinion of you? At MyCompanion, the cultured and confident Matthias is available -- for a reasonable fee -- to fill any social role you desire. But while Matthias is at the top of his professional game, his personal life begins to crumble as he detaches from his own identity and burrows deeper into his fictitious lives. |
