The steady, uneventful life of Roma, a lonely ninth-grader, is disrupted by Polina—a rebellious older student who is constantly getting into wild escapades. Together, they attempt to unravel the mystery of a mystical VHS tape—number seven—rented from a local video store. Drawn into a dangerous adventure and growing genuinely close, they have no idea what kind of choice the investigation’s conclusion will force them to make.

Four friends, constantly swearing because of a broken car, can not get to the beach, but on the way they meet an angel in the face of a girl on a bicycle who decides to help them.

"Closing" is a film almanac made up of nine verses. Instead of a rap beat, there is beer, rain, a beach, a zoo, random conversations, and a city that lives its own life. These are not stories with a beginning and an end, but statements written into the rhythm of the festival, where cinema becomes a way to be together and a way to be alone. Any almanac is a film cypher: everyone goes to the microphone, says their piece, and leaves, leaving room for someone else. "Closing" is exactly that: a collection of voices in which you can hear laughter, fatigue, love, and meaninglessness. This is a film about how cinema closes the day and opens the night.

On New Year's Eve, the sisters decide to go back to the past.
