Between Hands

August, a young man is navigating the complexities of relationships and queerness. He develops a queer friendship with an older man, George who he finds solace and comfort in. Struggling to find his place in both his personal and professional life, August is left with feelings of isolation and alienation at work. As their unlikely friendship grows, August confronts his own insecurities and uncertainties with his crush on his co-worker. Through heartfelt conversations with George and their interest in drawings, he learns the true essence of human connection. Acceptance and understanding can be found in unexpected friendships that defy conventional norms.

Directed by Eddy Yang, Between Hands leans on a strong ensemble — Isai Rivera Blas, Kenneth Lachlan, Savannah Meslin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2024.
