Inside the Future of Loneliness: Best Friend Explores Tech Addiction With a Sci-Fi Twist

In a world not too far from our own, Best Friend offers a glimpse into the dark side of technological dependence. This thought-provoking short sci-fi film explores the story of Arthur, a lonely 30-year-old who relies on an implant called “Best Friend” to create perfect, virtual companions—friends only he can see. The implant, charged through the repeated use of eye drops, allows Arthur to live in a blissful illusion. But when he runs out of drops, reality crashes down.
