I think there was a scene like this in V for Vendetta (even the beautiful hands bit rings a bell). I could be wrong, though.

Looked up a transcript, and it is V for Vendetta! Thanks!
There was a scene in a movie that I saw in the 2000s, a flashback with voiceover, maybe someone reading a diary entry? And the narrating voiceover was the voice of the writer. It showed her as a teen sitting in a classroom; she and this other girl are stealing glances at each other, and in the voiceover she reminisces that Other Girl had beautiful hands. Then it shows her and Other Girl (or maybe it was a different girl?) holding hands in front of her parents, who are yelling because they don't approve of homosexuality.
I thought it was from The Reader, but that can't be right. So maybe it was from another German movie?
