The Hairdressers (2007)
Film School Thesis Project - Universidad Católica de Chile
Ana Luisa and Tato have been getting up early for 40 years to open the hairdressing salon located in their house’s living room. Hairstyles and cuts, that’s all that’s left to offer, the salon is their shelter, in the middle of a neighborhood that spruced up too much for their eyes. Among those who visit them is Aurora, a goddaughter who offers Ana Luisa an opportunity to try to revive the business. Doing so means accepting whoever wants a cut, including the young people who have given new life to the neighborhood that they feel they lost.
