Touch, The : Story


Touch, The (2002) - Synopsis ImageThe bad guys wanted to recover the treasure that had
been left behind since ancient China, when the Holy
Man died. The monks were afraid that the treasures
would fall into the wrong hands so they turn to a
family of acrobats. They trained the acrobats so that
when the day comes where the treasures would be
recovered, the lineage of the acrobats would protect
the treasures.

Yin and Tong had already inherit the techniques their
father had taught them, which is also passed down
since the time of the monks.

Eric stole the Heart, which is essential to journey,
and went to Yin for help. Yin,at first, flatly refused
to help and forbid her impulsive brother, Tong, to
help too. But Tong had been influenced by his father
to find the treasures, so he secretly stole the Heart
and together with his girlfriend, he make his way to
find the blood, which is needed to open the door.

Yin, who had no choice, also heads with Eric but to
find her brother instead of the treasure. But they
soon heard the news that Tong and Lily were being
captured by Karl, who was also eager for the treasures. But Karl thought that the treasures would
grant him the life of immortality and great magical
powers.

In the middle, there were lots of scenes, hilarious
when Yin shot a look Eric to shut him up, heart
wrenching when Tong cried as his girlfriend died,
action packed when Yin, Tong and Eric had to beat the
bad guys as well as to bypass the traps being set to
protect the treasures.

All well ends well, as Karl was burned to death as he
adamantly refused to surrender, the last words
"Destiny awaits" in his mouth. Yin, Eric and Tong
returns victorously to Dun Huang, the origin place of
the Holy Man. Sadden that Lily had died, Tong decided
to become a monk in Dun Huang. His sister, Yin,
knowingly agrees. But whether or not he truely becomes
a monk was still a mystery as it was not visually
shown in the movie.

The movie ended with Eric kissing Yin in the middle of
the busy Dun Huang road. Of course, Yin wanted to go
on another adventure as she was hooked when she
discovered another stolen treasure map in Eric's
pocket. It was definitely not confirmed whether there
would be "The Touch 2".
