Familiar Touch is a coming-of-old age film. It follows an octogenarian woman’s transition to life in assisted living as she contends with her conflicting relationship to herself and her caregivers amidst her shifting memory, age identity, and desires.

ಎಂಬತ್ತು ದಾಟಿದ ಹಿರಿಯ ಮಹಿಳೆ ಪರಿವರ್ತನೆಯ ಚಿಕಿತ್ಸೆಯಲ್ಲಿದ್ದಾಳೆ. ಜ್ಞಾಪಕ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಕುಂದಿದೆ. ಗ್ರಹಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಬತ್ತಿದೆ. ಗುರುತು ಹಿಡಿಯುವುದು ಕಷ್ಟ. ಗೊಂದಲಮಯವಾದ ಸಂಬಂಧಗಳಿರುವ ಮಹಿಳೆ. ಸುತ್ತಲ ಪರಿಸರದಲ್ಲಿರುವವರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧ ವೃದ್ಧಿಗೆ ಹಾತೊರೆಯುತ್ತಾಳೆ.
