The Untouched
Plot Summary:
“The Untouched” is a work written to affirm the uniqueness of the Human being and to vividly highlight the defining difference between humans and anything else that may attempt to imitate them in the future.
The claustrophobic environment of a cult American sect provides the ideal backdrop for a deep exploration of the human spirit’s ability to remain alive even under the most adverse conditions.
The unexpected finale powerfully declares, with immense sensitivity, that even when all paths in life seem to lead to a dead end, the innermost essence of the human soul remains inaccessible, unsurpassable, and forever magnificent.
The Story
Three sisters—Rebecca, Rachel, and Athalia—are the last remaining members of the cult of the Untouched. They live in isolation in a forest in North America, anxiously awaiting the fulfillment of a prophecy about the end of the world. However, everything becomes dangerously complicated when a mysterious stranger arrives at their home…
Director’s Note
What remains of a person when the world around them collapses? What happens when faith turns into a prison, when you are trapped inside your own lie, when freedom feels dangerous, when truth becomes more costly than blood itself?
“The Untouched” is a story of confinement and redemption. Three sisters, isolated within a pseudo-religious refuge, struggle between the prophecies they have inherited and the voices calling them to live. Everything is overturned when a Stranger enters their lives.
In our own era—marked by fake news, social bubbles, extreme polarization, and an invisible yet ever-present technological control—this story is not merely a theatrical play. It is a mirror that asks us: Are we, too, living in a prison we have named “normality”?
“The Untouched” speaks of the human being who longs to remain human—
with their mistakes, contradictions, and madness, but also with their unmatched power to hope, to resist, and to love.
“The Untouched” is addressed to every thinking individual and stands as a tribute to the “human” who, even in their darkest moments, was, is, and will always be the unsurpassable mystery of the universe.
