When a boy is separated from his mother’s hand, he loses his fingers. As his mother’s love takes an unexpected turn, the boy’s fingers turn into larval creatures and detach from his hand. The house hides the secret relationship between them from everyone. How will the boy, now deprived of his fingers, grow up? This short animation is a 2010 graduate work from the Department of Animation, Graduate School of Film and New Media, Tokyo University of the Arts.
