SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sabine runs a hair salon in the middle of Matong\u00e9, a largely African district in Brussels. Her long working days are filled with talk about the latest styles and gossip, as well as the advice that Sabine gives willingly, without always being asked. Rosine Mbakam\u2019s camera is right there, barely leaving the salon, and filming Sabine as she braids and braids and braids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the numerous mirrors of the salon, Mbakam creates a puzzle with each take that transforms the small space and captures a microcosm of the African diaspora. The documentary takes on the slow-paced casual tempo of the salon. The exterior world only enters via the soundtrack and in the form of an offal salesman named Mr Gizzard who keeps coming. The windows create a natural, semi-permeable barrier between those in the salon and passers-by and members of the white majority who come to gawk. Like most of her customers, Sabine does not have official documents, so there is a constant sense of danger and risk of raids. But Jolie Coiffure is a home away from home, at least for a few hours every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
