Synopsis:
The film is about the process of unlearning, an act to detach from a system which has formed the basis of the one’s reality for so long. The director, though right-handed, engages both of her hands in the production of this animated film. The learned hand and the other sets out to capture the rhythms of traditional schooling, and in the process breaks free from it. It is a return to the corporeal, to carefully consider each motion in time and its consequence.
