    • Synopsis
    • Touch Me Not blurs the boundaries between fiction and reality. Pintilie has made a film that "is not a documentary, but it is certainly not fiction," says Tómas Lemarquis, one of the stars of the film. The Golden Bear winner calls her film a mirror that shows us that the Other is really a reflection of ourselves: "we are all, in some respects, excluded, marginalized, perceived as outsiders." Touch Me Not is an ode to the human body and to the desires connected with it; above all, it's a call for acceptance of otherness. It is only once this condition is fulfilled that we can expect society to accept us as well.
