Can the lines in a hand hold stories? What memories do the grooves store? Ghada invites her mother to reflect on her life while taking us on a poetic exploration into her mother's hands: the hands that raised five children almost single handedly. Why, Ghada asks, should someone have to give up their hands for those they love?
