FAMILIAR TOUCH
Director: Sarah Friedland
Anchored by a precise and sensitive performance by 79-year-old theatre actress Kathleen Chalfant, Sarah Friedland’s debut film – made in collaboration with the residents and care workers at a Los Angeles retirement home – shows the experience of dementia from this elderly woman’s own point of view. Her son, whom she mistakes for a date, takes her to the care home that she thinks is a hotel bar. Once a professional chef, she takes over the kitchen for a morning, then escapes to go to a produce stall, bits of reality she can still grasp. Her triumph is to find the life worth living where she is, as she is. A celebration of the human mind, in all its complexity.

Electrical equipment no longer works and gasoline has long lost the properties that made it the world's greatest resource. The main currency in this new world is AK47 cartridges.

Then, one day, Ronin meets a wayward teenage girl who offers him a precious bounty for escorting her to her birthplace, a journey that will require all his fighting skills.
