During a hair-raising escapade across the city, the extremity fends off pigeons and rats alike to reunite with pizza boy Naoufel. Its memories of Naoufel and his love for librarian Gabrielle may provide answers about what caused the hand’s separation, and a poetic backdrop for a possible reunion between the three. Based on the novel HAPPY HAND by Academy Award-nominee Guillaume Laurant, the screenwriter of LE FABULEUX DESTIN D’AMÉLIE POULAIN.
Nominated for an Oscar for best animated film.
