Newly orphaned and freshly wounded from this immense loss, a boy spends a day with his friend’s prosthetic arm, exposing it to a mélange of textures and materials, whilst documenting the whole process. A slow and meditative experimental film about everyday gestures of love, communicated through our universal understanding of body language. From the movement of sinking sand particles in a pulsing current – down to the swaying of each blade of grass rolling into one another in a gush of wind, every element is individually animated to draw attention to the animism behind the everyday and its position in our daily lives, no matter how seemingly insignificant they might appear to be.
