At MyCompanion, Matthias (Albrecht Schuch, All Quiet on the Western Front) is available—for a reasonable fee—to fill any social role one desires, from “the perfect son” to the “enlightened boyfriend.” But while Matthias is at the top of his professional game, his personal life crumbles as he detaches from his own identity. Bernhard Wenger’s feature-film debut is a biting and hilarious social satire about the masks we wear in the pursuit of human connection. Austria’s official submission to the 2026 Academy Awards.
