Hands in the Hair

About This Movie

So, 'Hands in the Hair'... it’s an intriguing little drama from 2005 that really digs into the mundane aspects of life. You’ve got Ani, a young wife and mother, who’s stuck in this routine, her hairstyle sort of mirroring her existence—same old, same old. The relationship with her hairdresser, Mr. Ahua, feels platonic but carries this weight of unexpressed emotions.
