The Barber's Chair

2024 · 20m · Drama · History

In 1980s Bacolod, at the height of Martial Law, Teopisto—a principled yet warmhearted barber known for his strictness and gentle hands—works in a once-prestigious barbershop. Within its wall’s, customers from all walks of life reveal their quiet anxieties, loyalties, and doubts—turning each haircut into a glimpse of a nation in turmoil. As the conversations deepen and tensions rise, Teopisto’s long-held neutrality begins to crack as he is pulled into the very currents of change he once chose to ignore.
