A mysterious world of images of an old, almost forgotten barbershop in the middle of the city, with its owner who is just “waiting” for something, and the people who visit him. A barbershop is a place where people want change. A place to find a new self. The barber finds a different self on the other side of the mirror, and between drowsiness and thoughts, he is lost between dreams and reality, pondering in a different space. The barber travels with various customers to a mysterious space. Invisible images are projected into each mind along with the recitation of poems.
