Director: Jakub Stozek
In 2012, a peculiar beauty salon was opened in Szczecin. It is the only beauty parlour for women with cancer. It is run by two sisters, Joanna Wiszniewska and Jolanta Wiewióra, who know from their own experience how troublesome it may be for patients to visit to a hairdresser or a beautician. Their establishment is different. Clients have an opportunity to talk freely about their dreams and fears related to the illness.
