In an unnamed city, a beauty salon becomes a space of passage where those cast out gather, suspended between life and death. At its center is the Individuo, a solitary presence who tends to this place without promise or explanation. The film unfolds as time and place dissolve into one another. What is lived, remembered, and imagined coexist in a continuous movement, where meaning emerges through ritual, drift, and return. Within this space, beauty and death are intertwined. The salon becomes a threshold where presence and memory fade and reappear, and where the boundaries between reality and vision begin to loosen. The outside world remains in fracture, its tensions quietly permeating the space. As everything shifts, what emerges is a passage: a meditation on the fragility of existence. Based on the novel “Beauty Salon” by Mario Bellatin. Presented in the Giornate degli Autori at the Venice International Film Festival.
