Section: Festival Laurels from around the World

Close (2022) 15

Belgium, Netherlands, France | 2022 | 105 min.

Léo and Rémi are close. They have boyhood adventures, share the world and almost every moment together. But they're reaching an age when things start to have names. What do they have, friendship or love? School starts after the holidays and thus start the nosy questions and ironic remarks of their classmates. As childhood ends, adulthood intrudes inexorably into the two friends' previously carefree world.
