This film explores power dynamics and how violence and weapons are established and ultimately dictate power. At its heart Finger Guns is a parable about sibling rivalry. The youngest one has power but does not realise it. All families have inherent power dynamics. When the eldest is in charge, the youngest feels the most powerless. But what happens when those dynamics change.—Hugo Foong
