Czechoslovakia invented genderfluidism with this film
Spoilers down from here:
Beautiful short allegory about dictatorship, censorship and oppression. Main character is harassed by a hand which tries to make him do a sculpture of the said hand, forcing him to watch materials showing why hands are great. Main character then becomes a puppet for the hand and is forced to sculpture a hand, when all the main character wanted was to make flower pots. In the end main character frees themselves and goes back home to do what they really want, not what the hand makes them do. All that unfortunately leads to the main charcters suicide.
What's more after the directors death, soviets tried to make this movie forgotten, which perfectly proves the point of the movie
