What Hands On is about

The object everything turns on is a folding massage table. It has stood in the living room since Monday, because the practical exam is in six days and the trainee masseuse has nobody to practise on. Her father and his new wife are away for a week. The only other person left in the house is the new wife's son, who has had the room at the end of the hall for two years. A blended family, polite, with distance. She is shy, he is the only one around. So she asks. Shoulders only, she says. He lies down.

Episode 1, Shoulders Only, sticks to that agreement. Twenty minutes on the neck, a towel, the textbook open on the floor. What she does not plan for: that she counts his breaths to keep the pressure steady. That he keeps his eyes open. Draping is about covering the body properly, and covering becomes a question of how much fabric needs to be between two people pretending this is only a lesson. The series takes its time. Every session is a step, and neither of them says out loud where the steps are leading.

Stop Pretending is the title of the third episode, and the title is a statement of intent. After that comes a morning after, a return of the parents earlier than planned, and an evening before the exam when the practice is no longer practice. Hands On lives off closeness under one roof and off the question of what happens once the table is folded away again. All the characters are adults, the performers are AI-generated. How the exam goes and who comes back when, you will not find out in episode 1. There you only learn that she stops putting the table away.
