Israel’s official selection for the Best International Feature Academy Award (and winner of Israel’s own Best Film and Best Director awards), Come Closer is an electrifying debut by Tom Nesher, daughter of the acclaimed director Avi Nesher. Deeply personal, the film was made as a response to the tragic death of Tom’s younger brother, Ari. Also making her unforgettable debut is lead actress Lia Elalouf, who is exhilarating and heartbreaking as she goes through a wild emotional journey that includes an intense and transformative relationship with a secret girlfriend from Ari’s past. This gripping film marks Tom Nesher as an important talent to watch.

"A riveting story of love and loss, a movie that draws you in during the first moments and which will hold your attention and emotion until the final frame."
Hannah Brown, The Jerusalem Post
