Synopsis

Marina longs for human contact but cannot bear to be touched, who signs up for an implantation programme and soon has hands growing all over her body. She takes up palmistry, and falls in love with one of the hands - Cecilio - it has a worryingly short life line and is devastated when it is forcibly removed. Searching for the rest of her beloved, Marina becomes involved with her strange extended family. Colton, the brother-in-law living in a hug box. Estra, the aunt imprisoning her husband inside her. And as for Dr. Hurtigger himself... ONE HAND CLAPPING is a compelling excursion into the foreign countries of the imagination. A complex futuristic fantasy inhabited by perilous desires, magic realism, psychological insight and black humour
