Nothing can cure the soul but the senses. — Oscar Wilde

ComedyDramaRomance

Interconnected stories examine situations involving the five senses. Touch is represented by a massage therapist who is treating a woman, while her daughter accidentally loses the woman's pre-school daughter in the park. The older daughter meets a voyeur (vision), a professional house-cleaner has an acute sense of smell, a cake maker has lost her sense of taste, and an older man is losing his hearing.

VIBE

A gentle, observational film that explores the beauty and fragility of human connection through the lens of our senses. It feels like a warm hug, a quiet contemplation on the everyday moments that define us.
