This film essay centers on an anonymous narrator's travels to Lyon, France to visit Montluc Prison (as seen in Robert Bresson's film A Man Escaped) while suffering from a potentially crippling hand wound. As the narrative moves between an analysis of Bresson's hand-photography in "A Man Escaped," a visit to the site of the Lumieres' Factory, and the developments in human hand transplantation and prosthetics, the narrator meditates on the convergence of cinema, resistance, and historical processes of subject formation.
