Touched

Each body is different, but each body has the right to be touched, kissed, desired, satisfied, and loved. Marie, a nurse working at a rehabilitation center, and Alex, a young paraplegic man receiving treatment there, make the decision to challenge every taboo and prejudice in their fight for this right. The care that Marie provides him with will soon evolve into an intimate connection, and their relationship will transition from simple sexual desire to something more profound. However, their attraction will face challenges as both struggle to feel at ease in a relationship that defies societal norms, and the confusion between love and humiliation will push both of them to their limits. Stavros Zafeiris and Isold Halldórudóttir deliver fearless and stirring performances as the central characters, while Claudia Rorarius crafts a provocative and profoundly tender film around them, a film that defies all expectations and remains true to its own emotional authenticity.
