超真实之手幻象 Le Mirage des mains ultra réalistes

The Mirage of Ultra-Realistic Hands delves into the intricate dynamics of male friendship. Through its analog narration, the work portrays the power struggles that take root in adolescence. The recurring motif of the hand explores the gestures intertwined with group relations: the hand that touches, caresses, grasps, manipulates or strikes. These actions elicit the coexistence of affection and control, the sense of belonging and the craving for validation. This film offers a glimpse into the ambivalence and paradoxes inherent in group masculinity. (Guillaume Vallée)
