Overview

What Else Grows on the Palm of Your Hands? is a lyrical, meditative film that observes the parallel routines of two women whose similar daily gestures create an intimate, unspoken dialogue across time. Hayat, living in profound solitude, retraces her grandmother's movements as she attempts to recover lost memories — her hands becoming a bridge between generations. As days accumulate and the film's rhythm slowly crystallizes, a bond of maternal love is finally revealed to unite the two women. A visually poetic work that transforms everyday gesture into a language of memory, identity, and intergenerational connection, the film stands as a quietly powerful example of contemporary Arab art cinema.
