The Silk - A short film by Nathalie Boltt and Clare Burgess

The silk, Mrs Blackie's cherished wedding present, has lain, untouched, in the cupboard for 50 years. Now that her lifetime with Mr Blackie is drawing to a close, she decides to finally take her scissors to it. As it is transformed into his laying-out pyjamas, their memories of their life together become interwoven with the fabric. When their bond is broken, the silk reveals its final surprise.
