I have no clue about the source (beyond the original French movie), but I had to watch this because I was so curious to see how you'd vid the song (Dessa! <333), which is a very difficult track for me to parse musically, even after some six billion listens. There are several songs on A Badly Broken Code that I would very much like to vid myself, but Seamstress never struck me as a vid song. But this is a really amazing use of it, and you work with it beautifully to tell a very interesting story. I was confused on the first viewing because I had trouble telling the two women apart, but on second viewing, it's just wonderful. And, yay, a great vid about an interesting relationship between two women!

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you felt I did the song justice - as you can probably tell from the vid, it's really a great fit for the source; I'm so glad that RivkaT suggested it. And yes, it is an interesting relationship between the women although I don't feel it was explored as thoroughly as it should have been in the source - in part because they had this really awkward premise. I'm hoping in the next season we'll get a deeper look.
