Emma Fogarty who lives with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) – a rare and extremely painful genetic condition that leaves her skin so fragile it blisters and tears at the slightest touch. As she turns 40, the age doctors predicted she would never reach, she takes up an offer from her long-time friend, Colin Farrell, to complete the Dublin Marathon together, with Farrell pushing her wheelchair for the final few miles. The Slightest Touch follows their lives and the enduring friendship that has sustained them through the years.
