Your hairdresser does it better.

ComedyDrama

George Roundy is a Beverly Hills hairstylist whose uncontrolled libido stands between him and his ambitions. He wants the security of a relationship. He wants to be a hairdressing "star" and open his own salon. But the fact that he beds down with the wife, daughter and mistress of a potential backer doesn't help. It also does little for his relationship with his current girlfriend.

VIBE

A dizzying, sun-drenched tumble through 1960s LA. It feels like a frantic party where everyone's desperate for connection but only finds fleeting pleasure. The laughter is sharp, the anxieties are real, and the morning after is always a bit sad.
