Based on the bestseller by Olafu Johann Olafsson, Touch is a deeply moving, delicate and spellbinding romance that spans several decades and continents.
Widower, Kristofer, sets off from Iceland on a seemingly impossible mission. Decades earlier the young Kristofer meets his first love, Miko in London. A student of economics, he decides to give up his studies and work in a Japanese restaurant. It’s there he meets Miko, the owner’s daughter, and romance blossoms. Then she disappears without a trace – all these decades later, with limited time left, Kristofer returns to London and tries to track her down.
