As the search for a missing child captures the city's attention, five individuals who live in the same apartment building each explore the five senses--touch, smell, taste, sound, and sight--and, in doing so, come to terms with issues that have recently plagued them. With its overall belief that love is the most important sensation of all, Jeremy Podeswa's film is thoughtful and engaging, featuring another standout performance by Mary-Louise Parker. [More]

This comedy/romance story is about communication and being in touch with yourself.

The second feature by the openly gay Canadian director interweaves in a rather schematic mode but with elegant style the stories of five troubled characters, each standing for one of the senses.

It is refreshing to come across a film that does not wallow obsessively in the human tragedies of its own making.

You'll probably think in a new way about the sounds and the music, the look of places and people, how much or little you take note of the scents and sensations of daily life.
