Haute Couture

Synopsis

Esther (Nathalie Baye) is at the end of her career as Head Seamstress at Dior in Paris. One day, she gets her handbag stolen in the metro by 20-year-old Jade (Lyna Khoudri). Instead of calling the police, she decides to take care of Jade. She sees in her the opportunity to pass on her skills, the craft of dressmaking, her only wealth.

In the frenetic world of Haute Couture, Esther will give Jade la beauté du geste, a way to reach beyond herself.
