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]

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.
