A woman wakes up with amnesisa having fallen down the stairs. Could her defensive, inadequate, control-freak of a husband have had anything to do with it? Unsurprisingly, in 'Close to Me', the answer turns out to be "yes". But it's a strange sort of drama, in which the truth is clearly suspected before it is revealed to either character or viewer. Amnesia opens many opportunities to tell intriguing (albeit preposterous stories): just think of 'Momento'. But there are no real twists here, just one long painful reveal.
