[3] Set in the war-torn medieval province of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Little Hands is the story of a young Australian tourist, Mia (Dinka Džubur), her journey to bridge the gap between her unwilling separation from her younger sister, Sofia and the trauma of her experiences during the Balkan war.
Utilising the backdrop and grace of the city Mostar, the story follows Mia's return home after an absence of ten years.
Not ready to reveal her true motives, Mia conceals her identity to the orphanage carers and attempts to connect to the children, in particular her sister.
Hapless social worker Marsel (Miraj Grbić), initially flirting with Mia as an Australian tourist, overhears her speaking in native tongue to the children and becomes suspicious.
As Mia grapples with the decision to expose her true relationship to her sister and whether or not to return with her to Australia, Marsel starts to form a plan of his own.
