In 1946, a Jewish tailor is restarting his business and attempting to regain a life of normalcy. Deville quietly follows the Jewish employees—some who have survived the camps, some who have escaped the horrors but have fought their own war—as they stitch, sew, and try to restore themselves. Intertwined stories flow marvelously, providing poignant observation of the Holocaust aftermath. 90m/ C DVD .
