Director

Under the watchful eyes of the prison officers, haircutting is the only act allowed between the hairdresser and the boy. Despite this, the time spent together is special to them both.
Duality
Director
A son has never met his father. His mother takes him on a journey to make him decide whether to see his father or not. Along the way, they face junctures, just like life. The film never reveals the outcome of the choice. It only depicts the renewed mother-and-son relationship as choices are made.
