In this short, the story of a mother’s recovery from breast cancer is touchingly documented through playful stop-motion portraits of her children playing with her hair. The confronting gamut of emotions experienced by her and her family unfold before us, layer by layer, face-to-face, as her son and daughters twist, braid, and blow-dry her locks into different styles, no matter how long or short they are.
