Familiar Touch

Amid the haze of fading memory and shifting desires, Ruth (Kathleen Chalfant), a retired cook, quietly navigates her transition to assisted living. With grace, wit, and the enduring threads of her identity, she deals with her changing sense of self and her bonds with those who care for her. As her surroundings grow unfamiliar, she accepts the warmth and support of care workers Vanessa (Carolyn Michelle) and Brian (Andy McQueen), finding new ways to ground herself, even as her mind embarks on a journey of its own.
