Those who still consider sewing to be uncool should immediately make the acquaintance of Barbara Duggen (Even Connolly). Her tailoring shop in an idyllic Swiss mountain village is close to bankruptcy—but when she sees two injured people, kilos of drugs and a suitcase filled with money on the side of the road, she makes a spontaneous decision… or perhaps several at once? Sew Torn, by the precocious Freddy Macdonald (just 24!) is a fast-paced, charming debut feature that brilliantly plays with several planes of reality—and the way its protagonist wields her needle and thread will doubtless cause jaws to drop!
