A MUTUAL FRIEND: Secret Life Of The Ordinary Man

About Me

A Mutual Friend: The Secret Life Of The Ordinary Man. Explores a dark and fragile world of adult-hood in cosmopolitan London. Set in the year 2006. John (Nader Riad) and Francis (Aqil Zahid) have been friends since college, seven years ago. Everything they do has become repetitive and uneventful, unwilling to ever take any risks to improve themselves. To make things worse they mock people who live different lifestyles to theyâ€™re own.One day John and Francisâ€™s lives are about to change forever, with the arrival of James Paluachi (masterfully portrayed by Claudio Beghelli). An out-going extravert, with down-ward opinions on Johnâ€™s influence over his best friend. So James decides to set Francis up on a blind-date with Morrigan Dunne (Abigail Groves), a young pianist. After a long period of having very little purpose, Francisâ€™ new found romance with Morrigan, inspires him to pick up his guitar again.Much to Johnâ€™s distress, who blames James for altering Francisâ€™s perception on lifestyles. Without his best friend to comfort John, during the worst year of his chronic depression. He begins to depend more and more on his secret night-time hobby, taking intimate photos of Mandy Thompson (Nina Jezabel Nutting), a former college student and Johnâ€™s first love.A Mutual Friend is an in-depth portrayal of modern-living, the relationship turmoils, the pressures of status and accomplishment. A stark and riveting reminder, of the darker side of the human condition, a vicious cycle of self-harm and loneliness.
