Being a busy freelance director and writer, Regev spends most on his time alone. He used to have real friends, but lost them all to their real jobs, wives, and kids. With no other choice, director Regev turns to the only place available for a person like him- Facebook. There he tries to find meaningful relationships, perhaps even a new best friend. Between all the cyber-slang and superficiality, he finds some strange, sensitive and surprising people, which show him that the way to true friendship is always complicated. "Friends" is a documentary film with possible web applications that follows the creation of a unique group of friends on the directors' Facebook profile and checks whether these cyber-relationships can withstand the shift into the "real" world.
