This intimate short film explores the boundaries of touch through contact improvisation dance. It follows Malal, a young queer woman of Franco-Malagasy descent, who finds herself through dance. The film immerses us in the intensity of touch as a silent yet profound language. It invites us to question our limits, ideas of intimacy, and the invisible rules shaping our perceptions of the body and others. A sensory journey that challenges norms and invites us to rethink contact and intimacy. Through contact improvisation, Malal confronts and questions the violence tied to her identity—gender, sexuality, and origin.
