I wanted to tell a story about two women who work together and help each other.
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
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.

I didn't want a period piece because embroidering is definitely not an art of the past, at least not yet. I suppose the story could be set anywhere between the 1960s and the present . . . but I did want to make sure no one used cell phones or worked on computers because that would ruin the sensual atmosphere.
