The Tailor
Director: Óscar Pérez


SPAIN
2007, colour, 30'
Vers: Spanish, Punjabi - Sub: Eng



The Tailor opens an equally suggestive and sharp window to a deeply human tragedy. Mohamed, a Pakistani tailor, and Singh, his Indian employee, work together in a small store in the heart of Barcelona's Raval district, one of the city's poorest neighbourhoods. Mohamed is very ill-tempered and the only thing he cares for is his business and his religious belief. Singh is a 50 years old Indian immigrant recently arrived in Barcelona, who works illegally for a miserable amount of money.
