Familiar Touch

Description

A heartfelt coming-of-(old)-age film following an octogenarian woman who has to learn to get used to life in assisted living and the complex personal quests that come with these big transitions later in life, especially when one’s memory unfortunately begins to fade. This impressive debut film won no less than three awards at the Venice Film Festival! Award-winning director Sarah Friedland will be present at LIFF for some Q&A sessions.
