✦ Synopsis

Dungatar è una cittadina di provincia come tante altre, tranne che per un dettaglio: le donne di Dungatar si vestono come modelle di Parigi. Un giorno in città arriva la bella ed esotica Tilly, ritornata a casa dall’Europa per assistere la madre malata. Da vent’anni Tilly se n’è andata e sulla sua repentina partenza è calato un velo di disapprovazione e silenzio. Ora ha fatto ritorno, guardata con malizia e sospetto dagli abitanti molto perbene che vedono nella sua eccentricità estrosa una minaccia. Ma Tilly possiede un talento: è una stilista sorprendente. Con cautela nelle case iniziano a circolare voci sui meravigliosi abiti che confeziona e tra gli ammiratori c’è perfino il capo della polizia, lui stesso sarto provetto. Tilly inizia così a guadagnarsi vestito dopo vestito la fiducia della città e tutto sembra mettersi al meglio. Ma dal passato un segreto è pronto a riaffiorare, e proprio quando Tilly si innamora le cose cominciano ad andare terribilmente male…
