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 lost button, she unexpectedly stumbles upon a drug deal gone bad. Faced with two 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, and face the deadly confrontations that result from each of these choices, as she becomes entangled with the case’s vicious owner.
Sew Torn is the directorial debut of Freddy Macdonald, and adapted from his acclaimed short film of the same that was released by Searchlight. It stars Eve Connolly (Vikings), Callum Worthy (American Vandal) and John Lynch (Sliding Doors, The Secret Garden) and was a break-out hit at SXSW, Locarno Film Festival and Sitges Film Festival.
