Cut Hair

2009 · 25m · Documentary

In different living rooms in Brussels, parents cut their children’s hair. We witness intimate moments between toddlers who resist or completely surrender to the tender ritual and parents who want to succeed in their delicate task.

In different Brussels living rooms and bathrooms, parents cut their children’s hair. This mundane yet intimate act reveals a world of emotion and connection. While the children resist or, on the contrary, completely surrender to the moment, parents conscientiously try to accomplish their task. Between scissors and clippers, silence and conversation, tender rituals unfold that reveal the bond between parent and child.
