Close to You

In this intimate Thai short film, shy and inexperienced Ben takes a leap into the unknown by using a mobile app to arrange a one-night stand. What begins as a simple, no-strings-attached hookup quickly unravels when Ben finds himself catching genuine feelings for the enigmatic stranger he meets. The encounter is awkward, raw, and far from the romantic fantasy he might have imagined—yet the fleeting connection leaves a lasting imprint. Set against the neon-lit backdrop of Bangkok, 'Close to You' explores the fragility of human intimacy in the digital age, asking whether a single night can ever be just that. With minimal dialogue and a focus on aching silences, the short film captures the vulnerability of seeking love in all the wrong places, and the quiet hope that maybe, just maybe, a spark can survive beyond the morning after.
