Give Me Your Hand

In his intimately crafted feature debut, French filmmaker Pascal-Alex Vincent follows identical twins Antoine (Alexandre Carril) and Quentin (Victor Carril) as they hitchhike from France to Spain to attend the funeral of their estranged mother. Antoine and Quentin, initially difficult to tell apart, begin to reveal their subtle differences as they travel through forests and along lonely dirt roads, the brothers often wordless but never without determination.

They experience their fair share of sexual escapades along the way, none more explosive than that which unfolds on a warm summer´s night between Quentin and an eager farmhand. After witnessing this eye-opening interaction between his brother and another man, Antoine´s confusion gets the best of him and he leads Quentin astray in a way Antoine will soon unbearably regret.

While their adventures, motivations and casual encounters allow the brothers´ physical journey to progress, the gradual revealing of the ambiguous relationship between them offers the true journey at the heart of the film-their afflicted glances, physical battles, bouts of jealousy and rage and, most strikingly, the moments of tender silence.

With a title inspired by French chanteuse Colette Magny´s extraordinary Melocoton and featuring an original score by Berlin electro-pop duo Tarwater, Give Me Your Hand provides a moving portrayal of brothers and soulmates seeking to affirm their individuality without reconciling the undeniable bond between them.
