Cinema: "haute couture" and small suburbs<

Every morning, she leaves to work, not without having first sent a word to her roses.Then she closes the portal of her small garden and goes to take the metro.Impeccably put, the right silhouette of a woman who, all her life, has fundamental the art of dressing with elegance.Esther is a seamstress at Dior.Workshop chief.The kind of old girl whose fairy fingers do not prevent him from calling a cat a cat.The injured genre, too, which hides a golden heart under an collapsed existence.Because despite her brave tunes, Esther is angry with her daughter that she no longer sees.About to retire, the seamstress sees the abyss and loneliness coming.

Wishing to transmit

And then, one day, we sting her bag in the metro.The one who stole it is a suburban girl, Jade.But pushed by we do not know what scruples or intuition, Jade decides to bring the bag to its owner.Esther is not fooled, but gives a chance to the young thief whom she quickly presses that she is good at sewing.This will not happen overnight, but little by little, Jade is passionate about beautiful fabrics and the fascinating behind the scenes of haute couture.Above all, Esther makes him understand the difference between cost and value, between a simple job and a job.Lyna Khoudri interprets the apprentice with a banter who does not forbid her to be subtle and all the more nervous as she sees herself into a world that she secretly wants.Nathalie Baye is Esther, perfect in her role of pre-retired in high verb, a little bitter, eager to transmit however.

If the dramaturgy is expected and the scenario unlikely, the way Sylvie Ohayon quips on the time is tasty.The victimization, the suburbs, social determinism, contemporary cutery, the ugliness of certain modes, it goes there.Iron hand and velvet glove.
