Close

In "Close," the deep bond between two thirteen-year-old boys, Leo and Remi, is severely tested when they transition to a new school. As speculation about their friendship arises among classmates, Leo begins to distance himself from Remi, fearing the implications of their closeness in the eyes of others. This pivotal moment leads to unforeseen tragedy that changes everything for both boys. The film elegantly explores themes of friendship, loss, and the struggle to understand one's emotions in a world that may not accept them. It paints a poignant portrait of growing up and the heavy burdens that sometimes accompany youth's most innocent connections.
