Close Your Eyes

Aging filmmaker Miguel Garay (Manolo Solo) is called upon to recount his memories of working on his final and still unfinished film, "The Farewell Gaze." During it's production, the lead actor and Miguel's close friend, Julio Arenas (José Coronado), vanished without a trace, leaving behind a mystery that would haunt the lives of everyone associated with the film. Miguel never directed another project and instead decided to live a quiet life as a writer by the coast. He remained reluctant to unravel the mystery until approached by an investigative journalist decades later. With careful reflection, he reconnects with the film's crew, former lovers, and Julio's daughter, seeking closure and understanding for what the disappearance meant to all their lives. Over three decades after the release of his previous film, revered Spanish auteur Víctor Erice (The Spirit of the Beehive, El Sur, and Dream of Light) returns with a "poignant cinematic swan song" (The Hollywood Reporter). A reflective culmination of Erice's career in film, Close Your Eyes is a haunting meditation on memory, absence, and the enduring resonance of the moving image.
