- Synopsis
- Latch is a story about a young boy with a speech disorder, his loneliness and his essential need to be loved and to be seen.
  Henri (Elis Lindfors) suffers from severe stuttering and is transferred to homeschooling. He is going through a stage in his life that will greatly define his relation to the world. He tries to look for warmth and security, but the person closest to him, his father (Eero Enqvist), is not able to respond to his needs. As the situation becomes unbearable, even a frail connection to another person (Elena Leeve) can become significant.
  
  The dreamlike, poetical film draws a portrait of a young boy, tentatively trying to grasp life. Silence, long takes and subtleness create a world into which the viewers are invited to. Latch is a timeless and hopeful portrayal of a world, in which person's closeness to another is often only ostensible.
