Description

The military veteran Aranda has lost his right hand in combat, but instead of burying it or disposing of it, he decides to dissect it and save it as memorabilia. To everyone's surprise, the hand comes to life. At first it disturbs them, then it is accepted as a member of the family, until it becomes an independent entity that seeks the meaning of its own existence.In the comments we talk about pets preserved as memorabilia, the latest news and the life of today’s author.
