IFC – FAMILIAR TOUCH

Triple award-winner at the Venice Film Festival’s Horizons Competition

Amid the haze of fading memory and shifting desires, Ruth, a retired cook, quietly navigates her transition to assisted living. With grace, wit, and the enduring threads of her identity, she deals with her changing sense of self and her bonds with those who care for her. As her surroundings grow unfamiliar, something unexpected begins to take shape – what if we glow most warmly at the edges of memory? 

“A film that finds unexpected warmth in the twilight of life… makes you see and feel the virtues of age without fear or anxiety” – Observer
