Touch (film)

Event information

After receiving an early-stage dementia diagnosis at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, TOUCH sees widower Kristofer leaving behind his Reykjavik home hoping to solve the greatest mystery of his life. As a student in London five decades earlier, Kristofer had fallen in love with Miko, whose father owned the Japanese restaurant where they both worked. But at the height of their whirlwind affair, Miko abruptly vanished. Now, as panic about the virus spreads around the world, Kristofer sets out to find his soulmate, resolving to follow her trail wherever it might lead—even back to Miko’s birthplace of Hiroshima—before his memories of their singular connection are lost forever in time.

From acclaimed Icelandic filmmaker Baltasar Kormákur comes a sensitively observed, magnificently crafted globe-spanning tale about the complexities of love and the unbreakable bonds that can tether two people through the ages.

“…this is a love story, pure and simple and unashamedly emotional.” **** Catherine Bray, The Guardian
