Close-Knit (彼らが本気で編むときは、, Karera ga Honki de Amu Toki wa,) is a 2017 Japanese drama film directed by Naoko Ogigami.

The film follows Tomo Ogawa, an 11-year-old girl, who becomes close to her uncle's transgender girlfriend after Tomo's mother, who has been raising her alone, unexpectedly runs off and leaves Tomo behind. It was screened in the Panorama section at the 67th Berlin International Film Festival.
