Plot

In the world of the solitary Estrella, a bright yet ostracized teenager, solitude is found not in the company of peers, but in the captivating realms of horror books and spooky films. Her world, a lighthouse in a sea of loneliness, is shared with her widowed mother Angela, whose days are spent navigating the cold, sterile halls of the hospital where she works as a nurse. As the day wanes into night, Angela finds a perverse escape in the arms of strangers, a twisted dance that masks an unresolved trauma. Estrella's only companions are two unconventional friends, Leatherface and Vampire, who she has summoned from her favorite author Stephen King's chilling tales. Their existence blurs the line between reality and the macabre world Estrella finds herself drawn towards. When a detective thrusts Angela back into her haunting past by revealing that the man who violated her still lurks in the shadows of the living, a wave of terror engulfs her. In a desperate attempt to shield Estrella from the unfolding horror, Angela retrieves her from the bus stop, and attempts to forge a semblance of normalcy by preparing a pizza for them at home. However, Estrella, oblivious to her mother's turmoil, invites her spectral friend Vampire to join their feast. The sight of this eerie visitor triggers Angela's buried fears, ensnaring her in a living nightmare that echoes the horrors of her past. The movie, 'A Real Friend', teeters on the precipice of terror and reality, weaving a tale that explores the grim underbelly of trauma, loneliness and the power of imagination.
