In a Parisian dissection lab, a severed hand escapes its unhappy fate and sets out to find its body. It travels through a perilous city to reunite with pizza boy Naoufel. Its memories of Naoufel and his love for librarian Gabrielle may provide answers about what caused the hand’s separation.
Highly original in its premise and animation style, Jérémy Clapin’s Oscar®-nominated gem daringly places us in the palm of a sentient body part. Bearing witness to the fracturing experience of loss, this macabre yet touching adventure searches for spiritual healing in the most unlikely of places.
