Little Hands is the first Australian film to be shot entirely in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
An intimate short story exploring the complexity of identity, loss, and the importance of human connection, Little Hands follows young tourist Mia (Dinka Bonelle Dzubur), who arrives in the post-war city of Mostar looking for her only remaining family, her little sister Sofia (Manon Bennett).
Dzubur is more than an actress . she is also the writer and executive producer of Little Hands. It was after feeling .dishearted. and .uninspired. by her acting roles in Australia . landing mainstream roles on Australian screens is particularly difficult for actors with diverse backgrounds . that she was prompted to create her own work.
.The more I stepped into the world of international cinema, I realised we were all feasting from this cultural trail mix in which there are not many stories of strong, powerful, sexy women because there are not many female writer/directors.
