Three Comrades: A Film That Puts Friendship and Contradiction Under High Tension

With Three Comrades, the FILMFEST MÜNCHEN 2026 brings a novel adaptation into focus that powerfully combines social friction, memory, and political attributions. The film by Milena Aboyan is based on the novel of the same name by Shida Bazyar and tells the story of three friends whose bond is tested by prejudices, violence, and a burning present.

A Material with Electric Tension

Hani, Kasih, and Saya have known each other since childhood. Years later, they reunite in their old hometown, but a wedding, an arson attack, and an arrest tear their biographies apart. The narrative unfolds as a multilayered flashback, where friendship, distrust, and societal projections constantly intertwine. This interplay creates the effect of the production: from the unrest between closeness and distance, from the discomfort that lingers long after the credits roll.

Drama Between Memory and Accusation

Shida Bazyar's novel is known for its sharp observation of identity politics, racist attributions, and unreliable storytelling; even the stage adaptation was described by Rowohlt Theater Verlag as a journey into the abyss of German identity politics. The film work picks up this fundamental tension and condenses it into a cerebral stage experience: with clear dramaturgy, emotional friction, and an audience reaction that oscillates between shock and acknowledgment.
