More than three decades after the release of his previous film, revered Spanish auteur Víctor Erice (The Spirit of the Beehive) returns with a haunting meditation on memory, absence, and the enduring resonance of the moving image.

In Close Your Eyes, an aging Spanish filmmaker is asked to recount his memories of working on his final and still-unfinished film. During its production, the lead actor disappeared without a trace, leaving in his wake a mystery that would haunt the lives of everyone associated with the film. Decades later, an investigative TV program revives the case, and the filmmaker reconnects with the film’s crew, seeking closure for the actor’s disappearance and its lasting effect on their lives.
