Vorpremiere "Sew Torn - Fäden des Verbrechens" Sargans

PREVIEW ON SEPTEMBER 10, 7:45 P.M. AT THE KIWI CINEMA CASTELS IN SARGANS

"Sew Torn - Threads of Crime" is a bizarre thriller comedy from Eastern Switzerland that has enjoyed great success worldwide, including on the Piazza Grande at the Locarno Film Festival.

Directed by the Swiss "child prodigy" Freddy Macdonald, many international actors and actresses travelled to Eastern Switzerland for this Swiss-American co-production. For a month, the film production exuded a touch of Hollywood in the canton of St.Gallen. A genre highlight with a Swiss signature – uncompromising, creative and completely hand-sewn.

About the plot: Barbara Duggen (Eve Connolly) works as a mobile seamstress in a remote Swiss mountain valley. Her days consist of yarn, fabric and the desperate hope of keeping her late mother's family business alive. But when she accidentally comes across the scene of a failed drug deal and finds an abandoned briefcase full of money, she is faced with a choice – and with her, a game of life and death begins.

- She takes the money and flees.
- She calls the police.
- Or she just keeps going.

Three decisions. Three versions of reality. In each one, Barbara loses a bit of control – and becomes more entangled in a web of violence, guilt and survival instinct. Pursued by the manipulative Joshua (Calum Worthy) and the ice-cold Hudson (John Lynch), Barbara uses the only thing in which she is unbeatable: needle, thread - and her mind.

With actors from "Schindler's List", "Star Wars: Andor" or "Hot Fuzz", "Sew Torn - Threads of Crime" exudes a touch of Hollywood in a bizarre mountain landscape in eastern Switzerland.
