    A romantic and thrilling story that spans several decades and continents; Touch follows one man’s emotional journey to find his first love who disappeared 50 years ago, before his time runs out.

    Сast and Crew

    Book the film is based on

    The movie is based on the novel Touch by Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson (Олаф Олаффсон).

    Author

      • Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson is an Icelandic novelist and the author of Touch.

    About the novel (brief)

    Touch follows Christopher, a man who—late in life—sets out to find his first love, who disappeared decades earlier. The story moves across time and countries, focusing on memory, loss, and the long shadow cast by an unfinished relationship.

    How closely the film matches the book

    The adaptation largely preserves the novel’s core premise and emotional arc: Christopher’s decades-later search, the cross-continental timeline, and the intimate focus on love and regret. As with most screen adaptations, some events and emphases may be streamlined or rearranged for pacing and visual storytelling, while keeping the story’s main spine and tone.

    The film was shot very well and I liked the actors, the story is both touching and to a certain extent tragic, but not tearful.
