Synopsis

Abby is a massage therapist and a free spirit, while her brother Paul thrives on routine and convention, running a dental practice and enlisting the assistance of his daughter, Jenny. Suddenly, transformation touches everyone, as Abby develops an uncontrollable aversion to bodily contact.

Our take

What happens when a massage therapist turns out to have a phobia of touching other people’s skin? Playing on our lurking anxieties about human contact, this quirky drama stars alt-indie superstars Elliot Page and Rosemarie DeWitt, and was made by the late, great American independent, Lynn Shelton.
