Lacrima
It all starts with an engagement, that of the Princess of England, who orders her wedding dress from a prestigious French haute couture house at 8 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in Paris.
Step by step, the show will follow all the hands that will shape this creation. A process which, being a real couture order, takes place under strict confidentiality clauses.
We will thus go from a Parisian haute couture house to an embroidery workshop in Mumbai to a lace workshop in Alençon.
Three universes linked by work, know-how and secrecy.
At every moment, the question arises: in the silence imposed by secrecy, what space is there between what destroys us and what preserves us?
Written and directed by Caroline Guiela Nguyen.
