16 minutes to stitch your heart back together—bring tissues.
A gender non-conforming person struggling to assert their identity unexpectedly finds courage in an aging master tailor.
Acting
Danso's silent vulnerability; Kanagawa's wordless warmth.
Cinematography
Tight frames that make the fitting room feel like sanctuary.
Director
Nathalie Therriault
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Therriault based the script on real interviews with trans and non-binary people who found unexpected allies in service workers—barbers, tailors, clerks—who asked the right questions.
The tailor's wife in the photograph is played by Diana Bang, who improvised the gesture that became the film's most discussed moment—she simply adjusted her own collar off-camera.
