Synopsis
觸摸 TOUCH is an impressionistic, diaristic, 68-minute film narrated by an older gay man who returns to Chinatown to take care of his dying mother. The film is an essay, narrated from one man’s point of view. But it is also fiction, for this man is made up, an amalgam of research, interviews, off-the-record comments, secrets, improbabilities, and free-floating desires. This man, who never tells us his name, returns as both insider and outsider, to a neighborhood from which he, as a teenager, escaped as fast as he could.
