Synopsis

In an absurd slapstick world, a mother forces a barber to cut her son's hair. But the barber controls not only the scissors, but also the editing of the film itself. Caught between these two forms of control, the boy struggles to reclaim power over his own image.

Mohammad Nezhad, director of Herakles
