Writer/Director: Karl R. Hearne Cast: Hugh Thompson, Lola Flanery
Solitary, anti-social landlord Gabriel starts seeing ghostly visions of a girl chained to a radiator in the apartment of one of his tenants, a woman who has gone missing. Gabriel forms a bond with the girl and begins sensing a connection between her and the missing tenant. Haunted by his loneliness, Gabriel sets off to find the missing woman. Part murder mystery, part love story between an unlikely father figure and a nine-year-old girl, Touched explores both sociopathology and the fragile power of human kindness.
