Our take

Highly original in its premise and animation style, Jérémy Clapin’s Oscar®-nominated gem daringly places us in the palm of a sentient body part. Bearing witness to the fracturing experience of loss, this macabre yet touching adventure searches for spiritual healing in the most unlikely of places.
