Touch Me Not

Touch Me Not

59th TIFF: Greek Premiere

A filmmaker and her characters venture into a personal research about emotional and physical intimacy, delve into a fluid space between reality and fiction, and strive to overcome old patterns, defense mechanisms, and taboos, to be ultimately free. An artistic research about the human longing and yet inability to make contact, and at the same time a brave statement on the film screen as second skin, which won the Golden Bear in the last Berlinale.
