Synopsis
Close tells the story of a teenage girl named Madeline who has locked herself in her parents’ basement and refuses to leave until she gets answers about the turmoil her family is going through. Her mother Martha begins to worry about her well-being. Madeline is hearing voices and seeing images. Is she merely dreaming, having visions or losing her mind? Close explores a profound encounter, family dynamics, and the idea that courage is not the absence of fear but the willingness, despite the fear, to stand firm and be counted.
