A famous Spanish actor, Julio Arenas (Jose Coronado), vanishes during a film shoot. Although his body is never found, the police conclude that he had an accident on the seashore. Several years down the line, this mystery of sorts returns to front page news when a TV programme looking back at the actor shows exclusive images of the last scenes in which he participated, filmed by his close friend, the director Miguel Garay (Manolo Solo)…

After his revered masterpieces “The Spirit of the Beehive” and “El Sur”, and 30 years after his Cannes prize-winner “Dream of Light”, legendary filmmaker Víctor Erice comes back with “Close Your Eyes”, a compelling reflection about identity, memory and filmmaking.
