Love in the Palm of His Hand 02

Through sign language and acting, two young men seeking their places in the world discover a connection that transcends the spoken word.

“I could only return to acting because there’s someone who believes in me.”

Fujinaga is determined to give acting one last try as he performs in a stage play adaptation of a manga series, but his nerves get the better of him when he realizes that Keito will be there in the audience. While Fujinaga's talent is finally garnering him some public recognition, his worries and loneliness begin to eat him up from the inside. Can the special language he and Keito share form a bridge between them and help him resolve his frustrations?

For Keito and Fujinaga, sign language will light the way along their journey of self-discovery and bind them together as nothing else can.
