Content language:

Barbara Duggen, The Mobile Seamstress, is struggling to keep her fabric shop alive. After a botched sewing appointment sets her on a quest to replace her client’s button, she stumbles upon a drug deal gone bad. Faced with downed motorcyclists, guns, and a briefcase, Barbara is completely torn. She is forced to pick between three choices: commit the perfect crime, call the police, or drive away.

I’ve always been drawn to narratives that explore decision-making, and Sew Torn is the culmination of this interest – a film that depicts how actions define your path, ultimately shaping you, for better or worse.
