Close Enemies

2018 · 111 min

A tense, brooding crime drama that immerses you in divided loyalties and the heavy cost of belonging.

Overview: Driss and Manuel both grew up on the same council estate. An estate where the sense of belonging to your patch is much stronger than the sense of belonging to a country, a nation or a culture... Manuel has assimilated this belonging, and he has even benefited from it and built his life on it. Driss, meanwhile, has shunned it. They will both have to face up to the consequences of their decisions – because they will each have a price to pay…
How it feels: Dark, tense, melancholic and bleak. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Loyalty, betrayal, crime, identity
Content: Strong violence and language. Mild gore and sexual content.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
