In this poignant and haunting drama, a young woman’s world shatters when her beloved younger brother dies in a tragic accident. Consumed by grief, Eden becomes desperate to fill the void his loss leaves behind. Her search for connection takes an unexpected and dangerous turn when she discovers her brother had a secret girlfriend.


Featuring stunning cinematography, a gifted cast delivering emotionally charged performances, and a haunting soundtrack, the film is a powerful exploration of grief, love, and obsession. As Eden grapples with the boundaries between remembrance and reality, her journey becomes an unforgettable meditation on the lengths we go to hold onto those we’ve lost. Come Closer won four Ophir Awards: Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Leading Actress (Lia Elalouf), and Best Editing. The Ophir Awards are Israel's top film honors, presented annually by the Israeli Academy of Film and Television to recognize excellence in Israeli cinema. Mature content.
