Two film students from two completely different cultures are reflecting around something as simple as hair. Between Lillehammer, Norway and Beijing, China, two girls are talking about their own experiences with body hair. Even though these two girls have never met in real life, and a distance of 7000 km is separating them, they made one movie together about the differences and similarities on the subject. Why is it so, whether you are from the east or the west, the society wants to control your hair one way or another?
