Through poetic imagery, this film captures the subtle connection between two generations of women as they navigate memory, routine, and the quiet gestures that bridge past and present.
This visually intimate film explores the bond between Hayat and her late grandmother, conveyed through the simplest of gestures. As Hayat prepares meals and reflects on her past, the memories of her grandmother return through the actions of her hands. These quiet moments illustrate how routine and repetition can preserve a connection across time. What Else Grows on the Palm of Your Hand? is a poignant look at how the small, seemingly insignificant actions of daily life keep loved ones present long after they are gone.
