Caress/Ache

A brilliant surgeon can no longer bear to touch the living. Two voices connect fleetingly over the phone. A desperate mother begs to embrace her son one last time. A young woman seeks atonement. Disparate lives interweave, intersect, collide and connect in the most unexpected of ways in Caress/Ache.

This is our world where some long for the electrical charge of human contact, others flee it, and lives turn on the smallest moments of random intimacy.
