From Paul Cox (Innocence), one of Australia's most celebrated filmmakers, comes the erotically charged drama Human Touch. Anna (Jacqueline McKenzie) is in her early 30s. She has a burgeoning music career as a singer, and has a loving relationship with her painter boyfriend, David. When Anna's choir holds a concert ot raise money for a tour of China, she attracts the attention of Edward (Chris Hawyood), a wealthy, cultured man in his 60s. Accepting an offer to meet with Edward, in hope that he will help finance the tour, Anna visits his mansion and when Edward asks Anna to pose for a series of nude photographs, she sees no reason to refuse him. However, when David sees the results of the photographic shoot, he becomes jealous of Edward's attention to Anna. The older man has captured an unseen side of Anna, a languid sensuality, and has started her on an intimate journey of self-discovery that can't be halted.
