"Close" is a film about friendship and responsibility. In rural Belgium, two 13-year-old boys, Léo and Rémi, are best friends who exhibit a deeply intimate affection for one another. They have a habit of sleeping in the same bed in Rémi's bedroom. Rémi's parents, Sophie and Peter, accept this without judgment and love Léo like a second child. The intense friendship between the two boys suddenly gets disrupted. Struggling to understand watt has happened, Léo approaches Sophie, Rémi's mother.
