My Jealous Barber

Running time: 76 mins

We all need a change from time to time, but whatâ??s a guy to do when love determines who cuts your hair? Hilarious and warm, this universal charmer by director Annette Sjursen hinges on a most unlikely triangle.

Bent is a young man whose sleepy life from work to home is built upon routine after routine. His steadiest relationships are with his old father, for whom he dutifully brings dinner every night, and with his barber, Frank, who has diligently cut Bentâ??s hair for the last ten years. One day, however, Susie moves in the neighborhood, and the predictability of Bentâ??s life is thrown out of whack by the lovely young woman who captures his heart. All is not well with jealous pal Frank, however, who sees Susie as taking away not only a customer, but also a friend.

Always working against the usual path of romantic comedies, My Jealous Barber is a compassionate comedy brimming with low-key humor and disarming sympathy for the characters. Chances are youâ??ll fall in love with this treat from Norway.
