It is the story of a little hair salon in the heart of the Arab community in Haifa (Israel); it is the story of a friendship between Arab and Jewish women in the city, which is considered a model of coexistence; and it is the story of Iris, the director, who worked as a hair washer at the salon so she could get to know women of the neighbourhood. Through her interaction with the women, in this unique frame, Iris wishes to tell the story of the community from the personal experience of the film's subjects, and to explore what it reflects of Israeli society.
Iris Zaki embarks on an intimate journey with her father through the extraordinary story of her legendary grandmother, the Egyptian singer Souad Zaki. A cinematic project that spans generations and continents, unpacking the complex relationship of Jewish/Arab identity and culture.
