“Close to Me talks about a ‘man who watches’. Luca [Riccardo Scamarcio] is married to Sara [Maria Chiara Giannetta], a woman who’s richer than he is and who recently turned 40 years old. He is a crisis-riddled teacher who, during the lockdown, ends up being a spectator, watching the life of Amanda (Mariela Garriga), his new neighbour. He decides to bridge the gap that separates them, with disastrous consequences.
A series of events, apparently casual, lead Silvia Monteferrante to suspect that there was something else behind the accidental death of her ex-husband.
