Synopsis by Mark Deming
In this short drama from filmmaker Bohdana Smyrnova, two women (Jacqueline Thuener-Rego and Melaena Cadiz) are tending to a man (Ivo Velon) in a small home in the Ukraine. One is washing and cutting his hair, while the other is making him soup for dinner. While this scene may be calm on the surface, before long the tension between the two women will rise to the surface as their rivalry for his affections becomes clear. The Haircut received its North American premiere at the 2007 Slamdance Film Festival.
