I came across a French film called “Brodeuses”.
Because of my love for embroidery, I naturally pay more attention to the embroidery in this movie.
The story is about 17-year-old Claire, a cashier in a supermarket.
One day, she found out she was pregnant.
Imagine, if this happened to any of our girls, who would be the first to go to?
Boyfriend? No, Claire doesn’t have a boyfriend, at the moment–when she found out she was pregnant.
She went to the doctor.
The French doctor asked Claire if she would like to give birth anonymously.
Clare asked. What does anonymous birth mean?
The doctor says you are protected by the law that you can give birth to a child without raising it yourself.
Claire asked if she could have an abortion if she had Down’s.
Doctor, the baby is healthy, five months old.
Claire, I don’t want to have this baby here, and I don’t want people around me to know.
Doctor: You can choose to give birth anywhere. It’s free.
Clare’s colleagues have all noticed Clare’s recent change, and everyone is wondering:How did you gain weight?
Clare pulled a strand of hair from her head and said she had cancer.
So Claire took time off and left the supermarket. She decided to have the baby alone, away from her former acquaintances.
She was introduced by her best friend Lucy’s brother, Guillon, to Mrs. Meliken, who embroidered French haute couture.
Mrs. Milliken’s son, Ish, had just died in an accident while riding a motorcycle with Guillon.
The loss of her son left Mrs. Meliken in a melancholy mood.
The unwed pregnancy preoccupied Claire. The kind Mrs. Meliken soon discovered Clare’s pregnancy, pretended not to know, but began to sprout a maternal love for Clare.
The tone of the film is somewhat gloomy, and the large area of blue indicates the melancholy of the two heroines.Mrs. Milliken, who had lost her son, was always dressed in black, sober and sad; Young Clare is still full of hope and confusion, all kinds of green sweaters, coats, jackets, scarves set off her beautiful youth.
In addition, the scenery of the French country town is also extremely beautiful, large cabbage fields, and slopes. Is this a sign that life’s road is not smooth? But it’s always alive. The town is quiet and warm.
It was a golden autumn day, and the sun was shining on Claire’s beautiful red hair. The love of life is dormant in the depth of the heart, ready to move.
Life is plain and quiet, feeling like the mother and daughter of Clare and Meliken joined hands with a sequin embroidered skirt, gorgeous and noble red, as life.
Embroidery is a wonderful game of needle and thread, fabric, color and time. With the beating of fingers and embroidery needles, the transparent gauze like cicada wings changes,… More and more beautiful; and Clare’s life, changed too, … Just like the embroidery so beautiful.
