TOUCHED – A film by Karl Raudsepp-Hearne

Opens in Toronto November 16

at
Carlton Cinema – 20 Carlton St.

Touched is a ghostly, genre-hopping mystery. A young woman (Lola Flanery) disappears from her building and her solitary landlord (Hugh Thompson) becomes obsessed with tracking her down. The landlord’s search for his missing tenant sends him on a strange adventure. Guided by a little girl – who may be the vanished tenant as a child – odd things begin to happen and the landlord struggles to figure out what’s real. The child’s kindness may be his only source of light and hope, but she is also leading him down a rabbit hole… and he may not be able to see his tenant or the surface again.

This is the first feature film by Karl R. Hearne, that has garnered critical acclaim playing over 14 festivals, including the Austin Film Festival, and Newport Beach IFF, and twice winning the award for Best Feature Film.

Part murder mystery, part love story between an unlikely father figure and a nine-year-old girl, this dreamlike, dark and odd film creates a tender but disturbing portrait of human isolation, exploring both sociopathy and the fragile power of human kindness.
