Aprašymas
What happens if hard work doesn't pay off and dreams don't come true? Do bad times last forever? Hands, the remarkable debut from Pardeep Toor, follows Hans, a downtrodden and aimless immigrant pursuing the so-called American Dream by any means necessary. A racist incident forces Hans to quit school and drive a taxi. An unhinged fare and unjustified arrest makes Hans question whether he belongs in this foreign land. And a toxic relationship confirms his cultural isolation within his own community. Illuminating a degenerate immigrant experience littered with hope and failure, Hands interrogates the contradiction between the lofty ideals of assimilating in America and the brutal comedy of the journey.
