Travelling on a crowded plane, Steve feels dislocated and alone. In a world of touch screens and social robots, he has lost the ability to make meaningful bonds with other people. Steve makes a decision that will eventually force him to face his own inability to make a connection. He talks to the nervous passenger sitting next to him.
In a forest thousands of miles away a sapling pokes its head through the leafy forest floor. Beneath the soil its roots begin to scramble for the one thing that guarantees its survival - a connection.

Blending stunning visuals and imaginative storytelling, this show uncovers the power of human touch and the unexpected links between all things, questioning whether we are a touch deprived culture.
