After Closing

On a cold winter night, Chloé (18), a clerk at her family’s convenience store, stages a fake robbery with her girlfriend Rosalie in order to make off with the money from the store’s safe. The arrival of her uncle Marc (47), whom she hasn’t seen in two years, at the convenience store late that evening throws their plans into disarray. Marc is at the end of his rope. He doesn’t have a penny to his name and is willing to do anything to get his brother David, the convenience store’s owner, to come and see him so he can ask him for money.

Directed by François Lalonde, After Closing leans on a strong ensemble — Éléonore Delvaux-Beaudoin, Éléonore Loiselle, Francis La Haye — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2026.
