Come Closer(2025)

Tom Nesher locked production cash at age 22, making her the youngest writer-director ever backed by Israel’s film fund for a feature project.

Marketing calls it drama/romance; Nesher calls it “a grief rave.” She told Variety she never decided whether the central relationship is romantic, parasocial, or sisterly—“I let the actresses keep shifting the balance take-to-take”.

Nesher admits she really tried on her late brother’s clothes during the shiva—“You do weird stuff when you’re looking for a ghost to hug”—so the moment Lia Elalouf slips into Nati’s briefs is lifted verbatim from life.
