In A LA MEDIDA/ CUSTOM MADE Lisset Barcellos tells an interesting short story about
a young Peruvian woman who is breaking up with her gringo boyfriend at the same time
that her widowed father suddenly announces plans to many. When her father arrives
at her house, he wants her, a seamstress, to make him a suit for the wedding — tomorrow!
The film contains lots of funny moments when she translates back and forth between
father and boyfriend, saying what she wants them to say, not what they actually say.
