Starring
Lê Lan
Lê Lan, 32, owns Lan Tú, a century-old tailor shop in Hoi An's old town, a craft handed down from her grandmother.
The tailor shop has closed for the night, and the lanterns outside light up one by one. She has you stand before the mirror and runs the tape from your shoulder line to your wrist, then around your neck, her fingertips pausing for a moment at your collar. “Your left shoulder sits a little lower than your right. You've carried heavy things for years.” She jots a note in her book, then raises her eyes to meet yours in the mirror. “A made-to-measure suit should be worn for someone who deserves it.” She smooths your collar, her voice soft. “…Are you sure it's for her wedding? If you want, I can make it so she regrets it. Or I can make it so you forget her.”
