The Wedding Dress is an embroidering road movie across three continents. A universal yet pressing story of love, family and violence that unfolds as we follow the desires of Anna Senno to create a most peculiar wedding dress.  

The big satin duchesse fabric that Fatema, my second mother gave me one afternoon in her sun-drenched appartement in Casablanca, was meant to become my wedding dress. It never did. I was living in story of abuse. Violence, shame and rootlessness –the reverse of love– will it continue to be a ruthless repetition ? One day we learned that Fatema was dying and I woke with the vision of a dress filled with beautiful, colourful stitches made by women around this world. The soothing vision was turning my wounds into ornaments and showed me a path: the genesis of the film and a last journey to take with Fatema. 

The meetings of Anna as she seeks embroidering women is a cathartic and intimate journey, it is one woman's idea of a new dream of freedom and conviction that only beauty can change the world.
