ABOUT THE FILM
OFFICIAL TRAILER
Contact is a story about something that can exist between people beyond words, distance, or logic.
We usually think of connection as a phone call, a message, or simply being physically close to someone. But sometimes it appears differently — as an inexplicable feeling, a sudden fear, or an absolute certainty that something is about to happen to someone we love.
Through the story of a teenager left alone with his premonition, the film explores the fragile line between coincidence and genuine human connection. It asks a simple question: can we feel another person before we understand what it is that we feel?
