Winner of the Grand Prix award at Cannes 2022 and selected as the Belgian entry for the 2023 Academy Awards, Close follows thirteen-year-olds Léo (Eden Dambrine) and Rémi (Gustav De Waele) who are inseparable. The pair spend every waking moment together, racing each other on their bikes, playing in the fields that surround their homes, and sleeping at each other’s houses. They are best friends, as close as brothers. However as they start a new school year, the pressures of burgeoning adolescence challenge their bond with unexpected and far-reaching consequences.

From director Lukas Dhont (GIRL) CLOSE is a powerful coming of age story capturing male friendship.
