Bruno Schultz gjorde det. Og nu også Andrés Barba. Edmund White "Min far døde på stedet, min mor på hospitalet." Marina har lært at sige sætningen uden tristhed, ligesom man siger sit navn til en fremmed, ligesom jeg hedder Marina og er syv år. På børnehjemmet bliver hun beundret af de andre piger. Og holdt udenfor. Dukken tager de fra hende. Men så finder Marina på en leg. På skift bliver pigerne klædt ud som dukke. Dukken ligger stille og kan ikke tale. Bare lytte. Endelig en nat får Marina lov at være dukken. Små hænder er under filmatisering af det anerkendte britiske produktionsselskab 4Film Production, som bl.a. har været med til at lave film som 12 Years a Slave, Slumdog Millionaire, Dancer in the Dark og Buena Vista Social Club.
