Under the Stitches is a short film that tells the story of Lilli, a young jew seamstress hidden in the basement of Hilda’s house, the owner of the workshop she used to work at, during the end of World War II, in Europe. There, she continues to work on the embroideries for dresses, until she must begin to make the insignias for the german nazi uniforms. Overtaken by fear and mistrust towards her boss’s intentions, she manages to find herself and recover the values of her faith, facing the challenge of staying alive.
