This is the title of a television programme about deaf and dumb people. Any ideas? I can't remember the English saying for "Jeux de mains, jeux de vilains"

Let your hands do the talking / Talking hands
Were you thinking of "the devil will find work for idle hands"? I'm not sure that "Idle hands" would be an appropriate title, although I haven't seen the programme! I presume that the reference to "mains" may be something to do with the use of sign language, hence my suggestions.
