Years into lockdown, a woman searches for a way to return to her family. "Toccata," literally "touched," is a baroque musical form meant to demonstrate the performer's technique. Shot and edited in two days in Upstate New York under COVID-19 self-isolation conditions. Starring, written, directed, camera and edit by Marit Liang.

Between pandemics, people’s revolts and male institutions, this period film cheekily combines fantastic psychedelia and handmade sets. Inspired by the life story of Julian of Norwich, a 14th-century mystic and the first woman to write a book in English.
