Israel’s official entry for the Academy Awards, Come Closer is a powerful story of grief, love, and self-discovery. After the sudden death of her younger brother, Eden finds herself drawn into his hidden past—uncovering a secret girlfriend and embarking on a journey of obsession and healing. Featuring a breakout performance by Lia Elalouf and award-winning direction by Tom Nesher (daughter of legendary Israeli director Avi Nesher), the film combines striking visuals and a haunting score to explore how love can both wound and heal. Inspired by Nesher’s own personal loss, Come Closer has earned international acclaim for its raw emotion and unforgettable storytelling.
