This Cannes Grand Prix winner and Oscar-nominated movie from Fanders, Belgium, tells the story of Leo and Remi who are two thirteen-year-old best friends, whose close friendship is thrown into disarray when their schoolmates notice their intimacy, causing a rift between them. When their seemingly unbreakable bond is suddenly, tragically torn apart, Leo struggles to understand what has happened. Close is an emotionally transformative and unforgettable portrait of the intersection of friendship and love, identity and independence, and heartbreak and healing.
