Sam (Elliot Page) moved to Toronto from his small town on Lake Ontario, Canada and finally decides to return home to visit his family for his dad’s birthday. On his journey, he has a chance encounter with a friend from high school (Hillary Baack) that sparks old feelings. It is on this trip where Sam can finally confront long-buried feelings, his relationship with his family, a first love that was never properly resolved, and a newfound love and confidence in himself.

Close to You is a Canada/USA/UK coproduction. Of special note: There was no screenplay, it is fully improvised.
