About the movie

Anna is stuck – her greatest happiness was her relationship with her twin brother – but since his death 18 months ago she has gone on a downward spiral that includes returning to her rural home‐town, taking on a menial job at the local boating centre, abandoning hope of a sex‐life and making the shed at the bottom of her Mum and Nan’s garden into her home. In the aftermath of her brother’s death Anna has been replicating the lost relationship by making videos using her thumbs as actors. But Anna doesn’t show these thumb videos to anyone ‐ using them, instead, as a way of keeping the world at arm’s length.
