Close to You is a heartfelt exploration of identity and belonging, following Sam, a trans man who returns to his hometown for his father's birthday after years of distance.
Confronting family dynamics, lost love and the emotional impact of his transition, the film goes beyond personal transformation, redefining the meaning of love and acceptance. Written and directed by Dominic Savage and starring Elliot Page in his first leading role as a trans man, Close to You draws from Page’s lived experience. As Sam reconnects with his family and an old flame, the film tenderly examines the complexities of coming home and embracing one's true self. With themes of resilience, hope and understanding, Close to You courageously captures the unending journey of self-acceptance and love.
