Year 2023

Sam has a chance encounter with an old friend (Hillary Baack, SOUND OF METAL) on his way back home to a dreaded family reunion, forcing him to confront long-buried memories.

Directed by Dominic Savage (I AM RUTH, LOVE + HATE) and starring Elliot Page (THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY) - who also co-wrote and co-produced the film - CLOSE TO YOU is shot in a highly improvised style. The observational tone and execution of the story result in an intimate, emotionally impactful film on family dynamics, relationships, and identity.
