On the divided island of Cyprus, the quiet motion of hands shaping lace and making cheese shed new light on a decades old conflict. To Your Hands is an experimental animated documentary that weaves together the stories of Cypriots who continue these handmade traditions, passed down for generations. Through intimate imagery and hand painted animation, the film reflects on how shared culture endures beyond political borders.
