Touch

TOUCH is a love story that spans decades and continents, following one widower’s emotional journey to find his first love, who disappeared 50 years ago. After receiving an early-stage dementia diagnosis at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, widower Kristofer (Egill Ólafsson) leaves behind his Reykjavik home, hoping to solve the greatest mystery of his life. As a student in London five decades earlier, young Kristofer (Pálmi Kormákur) had fallen in love with Miko (Kōki), 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.
