Sam (Elliot Page) hasn’t been home since his transition. After four years in Toronto, he takes a long-dreaded trip back to his hometown for his father’s birthday. Once there, he confronts unresolved wounds and reconnects with an old flame (Hillary Baack).

CLOSE TO YOU is a drama about love, family and identity that looks at the challenges of returning home when you have changed and feel like an outsider.
