Naomi Watts portrays Iris, a woman whose life is upended when her closest friend Walter (Bill Murray) passes away, leaving her his cherished Great Dane, Apollo (Bing).

In The Friend, writer and teacher Iris (Watts) experiences a disruption in her once-comfortable, solitary life in New York after the sudden death of her closest friend and mentor (Murray), who leaves her his 150 lb. Great Dane. The noble yet stubborn dog, Apollo, generates immediate practical challenges for Iris, from damage to her furniture to eviction threats, while also serving as a constant reminder of her friend's complicated choices in life and death. However, as Iris unexpectedly connects with the dog, she starts to reconcile with her past, her deceased friend, and her own creative existence.
The Friend is scheduled for a limited theatrical release on March 28th, with a broader release following on April 4th.
