Summary
A bourgeois matron’s yen for a sable wrap detonates conjugal peace; she dozes amid the wreckage and tumbles through a sartorial fever-dream where every stitch in her new gown and every follicle on the fur bleeds biography. In episodic tableaux she meets the Siberian trapper, the Parisian skinner, the sweatshop seamstress, the department-store mannequin who once posed for the illustration—all of them phantoms stitched to her own covetousness—until the coat’s genealogy becomes a mirror-lined maze of guilt and appetite.
Synopsis

After the argument she falls asleep, and a series of related dreams revolves around the dress and a sable wrap she bought that started the argument, showing her snippets of the lives of the various people involved in the making of the dress and the fur.
