FILM SYNOPSIS

The film, co-produced by Belgium, France and the Netherlands, tells the moving story of a close bond between Leo and Remi, two 13-year-old boys and what happens when it is disrupted. It is a powerful story touching upon themes of friendship, intimacy and responsibility, portrayed with great emotion and tenderness. Critics say: ‘Close is Belgian cinema at its most fragile. And at its very best.’ The coming-of-age drama won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival and has received multiple awards, including seven Magritte Awards.
