An opportunity has arisen for one seamstress to work in the sewing room in the Birchwood Concentration camp. Ella is too young for the position. She is challenged to make a dress from scratch in just a few hours. Although she can barely concentrate because of her hunger and tiredness, she designs, cuts and sews a beautiful green silk dress while dreaming of her former life at home with her grandmother and the wonderful food they used to eat.
Her observations of her fellow workers and the start of her camaraderie with
'posh' Rose promise a warm hearted story despite the dire circumstances.
