The 4-minute short, filmed blazingly by Max Montgomery, introduces us to a newcomer into the hairdressing profession. Inflicted by the COVID-19 lockdowns in the United Kingdom, the barber speaks about his mental fragility – sparked by isolation and fear of losing his handiwork. Thankfully, a hair styling mannequin was able to fill the creative gap. As lockdown rules relax, the barber returns to work at Ruffians where he finds himself in a new role – a comforting ear to his clients personal trials. A poignant piece of filmmaking that highlights the necessity of community life.
