Duration

Director
Iris Zaki

In a little hair salon in Haifa, Israel, owned by a Christian Arab, the director installs a mini-film set over the washbasin. As she washes their hair, she converses candidly with the salon’s clients, who are Arab and Jewish, on topics ranging from politics to love. What emerges from these conversations is an honest and nuanced portrayal of contemporary Israel.
