Plot
In the heart of Saigon during the 1960s, a time celebrated as the golden age of traditional Vietnamese attire, emerges the tale of "The Tailor". Our story weaves itself around the transformation of the iconic ao dai, mirrored through the life of our protagonist, Miss Ba. Painted against a backdrop of an era stained with innocence, the audience is invited to step back in time to a world brimming with virtuous women, their narratives stitched into the fabric of history.
"The Tailor" offers a poignant glimpse into a Saigon of yesteryears, a city serene yet teeming with contrasts to the dynamic metropolis it has now become. This dichotomy is articulated through the language of fashion, specifically the evolution of the traditional Vietnamese dress.
The plot threads together the lives of two families, the intricate relationships between mothers and daughters, and the heated rivalry between a bespoke tailor and a bustling fabric shop. All these elements are deftly interlaced, forming a tapestry of drama and passion that is as vibrant as the ao dai itself. "The Tailor" is not merely a film—it's a fashion-forward journey into the very soul of Vietnam's past.
