El sastre

And to survive that is - also finding ones own path - in life and in so many other ways that are connected to our existence on this planet. May have gone a bit overboard with the last statemen, but let me be clear: the movie is as slow paced as you can imagine. Our main character is not really forward when it comes to talking - which is not helping much when it comes to his business dealings and how he is being handled by others.

Since the bank wants to take away their business, father and son have to find a way to keep their business open. And while the father soon has a different stroke of bad luck (no pun intended), the son is left to handle things on his own. Well he will get some unexpected help by some neighbors ... and from time to time strangers on the street - literally.

This drama shows many aspects of a society that can not take care of their own people. Of an economic system that has failed the people it is supposed to serve. It shows human instinct to survive and it shows love and tenderness ... and it shows that even gullible people have a chance ... with a bit of luch and the right people on their side. If they also have a bit of talent that is. And a passion for what they do.

There is a lot woven into this - and I am almost surprised I took so long to incorporate another pun in here. This one was almost tailor made ... it suits me, is what I am saying. Hopefully you'll feel the same when you try it on.
