    Drawing Closer reflects on how limited time reshapes the way two people learn to live, love, and confront their deepest fears, using soft visuals and intimate dialogue to build a bond grounded in shared fragility. Instead of dramatic clashes, the film lingers on internal struggles that unfold quietly yet painfully, softened by heartfelt performances and tender cinematography. Though the ending feels slightly rushed, the story remains a gentle reminder to pause, look inward, and consider how we choose to live before death arrives—whether soon or far ahead.

Five Feet Apart

Seventeen-year-old Stella spends most of her time in the hospital as a cystic fibrosis patient. Her life is full of routines, boundaries and self-control — all of which get put to the test when she meets Will, an impossibly charming teen who has the same illness. There's an instant flirtation, though restrictions dictate that they must maintain a safe distance between them. As their connection intensifies, so does the temptation to throw the rules out the window and embrace that attraction.
