The movie is a must see for anyone who wants to observe the passion that drives creativity and perfection. These are ordinary men who for various reason found themselves as tailor's apprentices and then embraced the craft with the kind of love and devotion that is rarely seen in the work world. And that may be because these men do not see what they do as work in the usual sense but as a kind of creative extension of themselves. The viewer gets to observe each step as a custom tailored suit is designed and sewn all the while the tailor is narrating how they came to the trade. There is also a certain poignancy in knowing that they are a dying breed both in this country and in their native Southern Italy. viewer need not be interested in cloth or fashion to appreciate this film.
