Water Hands

2011-01-01 · 92 min · Not rated

Water hands is the literal Chinese word for ‘sailor’. The sailor himself remains off-screen in this film, just like the woman who is waiting for him. The tight black-and-white images move through Singapore and Montenegro, while a logic all of its own links the various worlds and narrations.
