- HAIR is a cinematic tribute to human hair. Not all the hair on the head disappears into hairdressers' trash cans, vacuum cleaners or drains. The same hair can serve as a precious souvenir, as a religious relic, as scientific evidence or as a substitute for a lost identity.

The result is a moving, loving portrait of this seemingly worthless residue of the human body.
