Las gamberradas de unos adolescentes en un patio trasero terminan mal cuando un niño se queda atrapado dentro de un frigorífico estropeado y abandonado. La responsabilidad por la vida del chico recaerá entonces en una pareja de alcoholizados vagabundos.

A black comedy set onstage and off, of a traditional Scottish pantomine. One actor's progressive nervous breakdown brings Good and Evil into open conflict.

Vincent has recently become a father and is preparing the house for his newborn daughter's homecoming. His joy and excitement, however, turn into something darker when one of his neighbours (a sad, drunken man whose own children have recently thrown him out of the house) suggests a sordid future for both Vincent and his child. Something inside him snaps and he embarks on a pyschotic mission of 'close cleansing'. -Peter Mullan, Director "Close" is a short film on the darker side of fatherhood, of paternal love swerving dangerously down the wrong path. The mood is disturbing, violent and darkly comic.
