But in the factory, they sleep in separate quarters and meet only once a day to relay messages from their children. Speaking to Variety, Weigert says her seamstress character’s motivation in life has always been to nurture, and witnessing her husband’s wilting health during their brief meetings is a call to action.
“In the factory, I’m just so terribly worried for him,” Weigert says. “It is interesting, because there is still some romance between us in that moment we meet. I
