BUFF: Shorts Block: Touching from a Distance

We enter and leave this world alone. Everything in between involves a revolving cast of characters who come and go; some stay for decades, some for a few seconds. Some bring pain, others, love. Some get under our skin and others leave their mark without ever making direct contact. Each of these intersections leave impressions -- like Braille on our souls -- comprising the story of our lives. Here we have a girl connecting with a father she’s never known, a young woman trying to let go of her departed grandmother, another longing to embrace her dead lover. As one morbid young woman reaches for love, two share a beautiful moment upon a chance encounter, while another pair is torn apart unexpectedly. A body-jumping soldier confronts the morality of her missions while a couple find themselves on the verge of discovering something harrowing about their connection. Each, together, alone.
