I didn't want a period piece because embroidering is definitely not an art of the past, at least not yet.

More Quotes from Eleonore Faucher:
I grew up watching my grandmother sew things. . . . She never threw things out, she fixed them with a needle and thread. She and I weren't close, but now that I've reached adulthood and have a child of my own, I find myself doing the same things she used to do. This was fascinating for me and I guess it's part of why I decided to make this film.Eleonore Faucher
I wanted to tell a story about two women who work together and help each other.

When you sew, it takes time, so you don't think the same way as you do in normal life. It's more dreamlike. I think Claire is able to stop time through embroidery and become more mature during its process. And she starts accepting herself, her body and the child through it.
