Two strangers meet under an umbrella during a passing rainstorm. With little space and no words exchanged, a quiet gesture bridges the distance between them. if only for a moment.
Close Enough is a minimal, dialogue-free short film exploring how even brief proximity can carry unspoken warmth. It captures a small, unnoticed moment of humanity felt more than told.

Close Enough was born from a simple question: “Can a gesture speak louder than a conversation?”
This film isn’t about events. It’s about presence. It’s an attempt to celebrate everyday humanity. the kind that’s easy to miss, yet quietly beautiful.
