Léo and Rémi, both 13 years old, are best friends and are as close as brothers. They are inseparable, trust each other and share everything. As the summer comes to an end and they move to a new school, their close bond suddenly begins to falter - with tragic consequences.
CLOSE, which won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2022 Cannes International Film Festival, is a sensitive drama about closeness, distance and alienation. With tender precision and an infinite understanding of the fragility of life on the threshold of adulthood, Lukas Dhont tells the stirring story of an intense friendship.
