Thirteen-year-olds Léo and Rémi spend the long summer holidays in innocent intimacy, making fort’s in Léo’s family dahlia farm and dreaming of the future. Come the new school year, their friendship is the subject of comments and questions which neither quite know the answer to, or how to fit in. Suddenly, a rift develops.

Lukas Dhont's sophomore feature after Girl (SWIFF'19), is an emotionally transformative and unforgettable portrait of the intersection of friendship and love, identity and independence, and heartbreak and healing. Featuring exceptional performances from two newcomers (Eden Dambrine & Gustav de Waele), Close is a soul-stirring masterpiece of poignant naturalism and sympathy.
