A GRAMMAR OF CLOSENESS
A six-part anthology film by Kayleb Lee
Six tightly composed films observe couples through one privileged sense at a time: sound, sight, touch, taste, scent, and feelings, as they negotiate intimacy through tiny domestic rituals, miscommunications, and the spaces between them.
