A group of Jews living in Paris try to start their lives over after World War II. Married couple Albert (Simon Abkarian) and Lea (Zabou Breitman) reopen their tailoring business and search for new employees. Charles's (Denis Podalydes) entire family was killed in internment camps, and Maurice (Stanislas Merhar) has lost his ability to love. Soon, they all realize that in order to move on, they'll have to put their frightening pasts behind them.
Generosity and love of life are the film's hallmarks. Like the work of an expert tailor, it's done with unobtrusive skill, essential warmth and seamless grace.
a movie that stuffy film critics rate highly out of a sense of guilt and fear, but which never connect with real audiences, desperately waiting for something to happen
You become aware of how few movies about survivors of the Holocaust show them going about their lives, as opposed to acting out someone's idea of a Holocaust Survivor.
An interesting movie that centralizes around a tailor, his wife, and their work companions after the end of World War II. Great cast- Simon Abkarian, Clotilde Courau, Julie Gayet, Lubna Azabal, Stanislas Merhar, and Malik Zidi. Worthy!
