La Ravaudeuse (the mender)

Synopsis

Siamese twin brothers, separated at birth, grew up quite literally side-by-side. The mother, an excellent seamstress, can't seem to find her place between them. Finally, a peddler stops by selling strange prostheses. With needles and thread, scissors and handiwork, they all try to mend their hidden wounds.
