Close to the Horizon

'Close to the Horizon' tells the story of Jessica, a young woman who enjoys an uncomplicated life with the promise of a bright future. With summer approaching, Jessica thinks that the most exciting holiday experience awaiting her is getting her driver license. Something that she didn't count on was meeting Danny. One night at a fair, the two bump into each other. Danny is a young man who has everything that Jessica dreams of: attractiveness, independence and success. Fascinated by the character he puts across, Jessica slowly peels back his many layers to find out who he really is behind the façade that Danny has held up for a long time.

In a superficial world in which physical aesthetics are treated as the most important thing, Jessica and Danny will have to face prejudice and exclusion as they grow closer
