Hands on Tuesday
Ruce v úterý
Skip to sidebar
In this silent film we speak by the means of hands. And always – kinetically. Thus begins this symphony of hands, this study of how at every hour of the day we’re busy with them, starting in the morning when we silence the alarm clock and ending at night when we switch off the light and dream of – more hands. An amateur film classic.
– Olaf Möller

Atom of Eternity
The essence of all boy-meets-girl narratives. Lyrical and cynical at the same time. -
