Two master craftsmen at daggers drawn: Polish born Spijak insists that nothing can beat the excellence of a hand sewn suit, while Eric uses his machine to work at twice the speed and earn twice the money. Sparks fly as each fights his own corner with biting wit and vicious humour. Into this battlegrounf steps Maurice, a teenager at the very start of his apprenticeship. Will be survive the gruelling training to become a master tailor? or will he, as SpiJaks daughter urges him to, escape?
