SYNOPSIS
In a near-future where virtual reality offers flawless intimacy, a struggling couple secretly escape into digital fantasies, each unaware the other is doing the same. Nick meets his idealised VR partner, while Pauline seeks confidence and connection she no longer feels at home. As glitches blur fantasy with reality, both are forced to confront their emotional distance. Untouched is a intimate sci-fi drama about loneliness, temptation, and rediscovering the imperfect human connection no simulation can replace.
