- Synopsis
- Often, a haircut is not just a haircut. Women get haircuts for various reasons - maybe for a change of style; or for a noble cause; or sometimes it could simply be because of boredom.
  In “The Salon”, Nimmi, a middle-aged woman, strikes up a conversation with her hairstylist, and works through a loss while getting her hair cut.
  Through the course of a haircut, this short film explores both the conversations we have with others and with ourselves. Starring Sudha Belawadi, B. Suresha, and Eric Leivang, it is written and directed by Nitya Misra.
