In a 1946 Parisian courtyard, the owners and employees of a
small garment shop form an ad hoc extended Jewish family seeking
to stitch together normal lives in this heartwarming ensemble
drama. Based on screenwriter Robert Bober's semi-autobiographical
novel, the four women and five men of the workshop share their
stories of survival, dreams of romance and hopes for their children
over the whirr of sewing machines. Director Michel Deville channels
Jean Renoir and the spirit of New Wave French cinema in what
Variety calls, "a film that audiences are certain to embrace
once they discover it."
