Losing Touch

For the first time in his life, Christian Stock meets leprosy affected people in Nepal. All of them have to suffer not only from their disease or its long-term effects, but from brutal social discrimination as well. A mostly uneducated population with almost no factual knowledge about the disease leaves only a dim hope of solving the problem in the near future. But still, a lot of people in Nepal already give their best efforts to help the leprosy affected people and offer them a shot at what comes at least close to a normal life. The film approaches these stories from a very personal perspective and thereby discovers a world of people who have lost touch with the established society.
