When Vali and Mimi closed their couture shop on Lexington Avenue they kepy 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 important of family, and the persistence of the creative spirit. Beautifully and lovingly crafted, THE LADIES has taken hearts (and awards) around the country, winning awards at Slamdance Film Festival, Woodstock Film Festival, Chicago International Film Festival, Gen Art Film Festival, and numerous others.
