This documentary film delves into a sewing workshop in the La Mina neighbourhood on the outskirts of Barcelona. The workshop appears as an essential space in the lives of the women who have been going there for years; a meeting place where the creation of an intricate weave of experiences and emotions materialises. Through their stories intertwined with the garments they make and the conversations they share, the film explores the lives of these women and their profound relationship with the neighbourhood. Meanwhile, the constant clatter of sewing machines becomes the evocative soundtrack that accompanies stories that reveal the thickness of the city's edges.
La Mina, Sant Adrià de Besòs, January 2024. Part of my PhD thesis.
