Drama

Esther is at the end of her career as Head Seamstress at Dior Avenue Montaigne workshop. One day, she gets her handbag stolen in the metro by a 20 years old girl, Jade. Instead of calling the police she decides to take care of Jade. She sees in her the opportunity to pass on her skills, the craft of dressmaking, her only wealth. In the frenetic world of Haute Couture, Esther will give Jade la beauté du geste, a way to reach beyond herself.

VIBE

A quiet, elegant exploration of passing down a dying art. It feels like a warm embrace, a poignant look at legacy and finding beauty in the meticulous craft of creation. Inspiring and deeply human.
