Two Turkish-Israeli women, Coya and Sima, get the tails of hair from male hair traders in Turkey and sell them to wig makers in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan and Bnei Brak. Orthodox Jewish women cover their heads with the wigs made of the hair once belonged to women from Anatolia.
Aylin Kuryel and Fırat Yücel’s observational documentary explores the curious hair trade between Turkey and Israel with delicate personal touches. Awarded a Special Mention at the Istanbul Film Festival, this intriguing journey boasts a keen eye for questions of cultural and religious identity.
