Close Your Eyes
Miguel Garay, an aging filmmaker whose close friend, Julio Arenas, a famous Spanish actor, mysteriously disappeared more than twenty years earlier during the filming of an unfinished movie. Although his body was never found, the police presumed that he had died in an accident by the sea. Years later, the mystery resurfaces when a television program decides to investigate Julio's disappearance and reconstruct his life. Miguel, who directed the film in which Julio vanished, is invited to share his memories. This leads him to revisit his past, reconnect with former colleagues and people close to the actor, and gradually confront memories he has long tried to leave behind. As the investigation unfolds, Miguel discovers that Julio may have survived but lost his memory and begun a completely different life. The search becomes less about solving a disappearance than about recovering a lost identity and reconnecting with the past.
