    The Hairdresser

    Doris DÖRRIE 2010 Germany Fiction color 106min German 35mm
    Set after the fall of the Berlin wall at the dawn of a new chapter for the city, the story begins one life-changing morning in the Berlin low-income district of Marzahn. Single mother Kathy is about to embark on a new chapter of her own. She nailed the phone interview with a local hair salon and was hired as new manager and stylist. When she arrives, the owner takes one look at her and tells her that she does not “fit” in after all. But Kathy doesn’t have thick skin for nothing, literally and figuratively. Just as she is about to give him a piece of her mind, she spots a much better solution right across the street―available salon space! Kathy has an epiphany: She’ll open her own salon! Who needs mean and insulting bosses anyway? She will be her own boss from now on. She decides to run her own salon next to the shop of her former employer. Expectedly, she needs to face a long, hard battle against banks, bureaucrats, and bad advisers. But good people are never absent on the way of her life.
