Synopsis:
 When Vali and Mimi closed their couture shop on Lexington Avenue they kept a dozen of their best clients, moved the business into the spare bedroom, and moved Mimi to the pull-out couch. Still sewing forty hours a week, the 87 and 93 year old sisters reflect on the dying of a craft, the importance of family and the persistence of the creative spirit.

Summary:
Before the Hungarian revolution Vali and Mimi had separate lives: the elder was a bohemian costume designer, the younger a pragmatic tomboy who drove a taxi. After nearly losing their lives in a Russian work camp the sisters escaped to the US and began rebuilding their world as 40 year-old women in a foreign land. Their circumstances forced them to embrace their differences and prioritize family over their singular aspirations. Nearing the end of their lives, two women are inseparable parts of a collective story, fiercely independent, tirelessly honest and burdened with the perspective of regret, their relationship encompasses an era and exemplifies the paramount importance of creativity in a world of perpetual change.
