About This Movie

Under Your Fingers is quite an intriguing piece. It's this animated drama that really dives into memory and loss, told through the eyes of Emilie, a young mixed-race Asian girl, on a very poignant day—the cremation of her grandmother. The film weaves together personal and historical narratives, exploring themes of identity and heritage, with a dreamy atmosphere that feels reflective yet somber. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to linger in each memory, especially those of Indochina and the complex relationships, like the one between Hoa and Jacques. The animation style is understated but effective, complementing the emotional weight of the story. It’s the kind of film that sticks with you, leaving you pondering long after the credits roll.
