»CLOSE«

Léo and Rémi, both 13 years old, are best friends and as close as brothers. They are inseparable,
trust each other and share everything with each other. When the summer ends and they move to a new school, their inner connection is suddenly threatened – with tragic consequences. “Close”, winner of the Grand Prix Jury prize at the 2022 Cannes International Film Festival, is a sensitive
drama about intimacy, distance and alienation. With tender precision and a boundless empathy for the fragility of life on the threshold of adulthood, Lukas Dhont tells the disturbing story of an intense friendship. As its title suggests, “Close” is incredibly detailed and intimate. So much so, that it hurts.
