KABUL BEAUTY

France 2023 – Director(s) Benn Margaux, Soléne Chavlon Fioriti – 52 min – Spoken language: Persian – Subtitles: English

A beau­ty salon beco­mes a last island of free­dom in Kabul.

KABUL BEAU­TY takes you to Afgha­ni­stan, whe­re two best fri­ends, Sofia and Nigi­na, run a beau­ty par­lour in Kabul. In the midst of Tali­ban rule, their salon offers a retre­at for women whe­re they can be pam­pe­red and open­ly dis­cuss the cur­rent situa­ti­on. The salon is one of the few places whe­re men are not allo­wed to enter. It is Sofia and Nigi­na’s dream to defend this island of safe­ty for as long as pos­si­ble. The film fol­lows the two women over a year and a half and pro­vi­des inti­ma­te insights into their strugg­le for free­dom and friendship.
