Close Your Eyes

Directed by Victor Erice

A famous Spanish actor, Julio Arenas, disappears while filming a movie.

Although his body is never found, the police conclude that he died in an accident at a cliff by the sea. Many years later, the mystery is brought to light once more by a TV programme which asks for the help of Miguel Garay, Julio’s friend and the director of the unfinished film.

Returning to Madrid, Miguel is brought back to his past. 

Considered by many as one of the greatest filmmakers of all time, Víctor Erice is back to mesmerise audiences with a long-awaited return to feature filmmaking.
