Couldn’t stop laughing…riotious and poignant! Has to win so others can enjoy it.

Brilliant depiction of how cultural values are passed down and filtered through these informal, repetitive, ritualistic ceremonies (the haircut in the bathroom!). And what engaging, humorous interaction – like we’re watching a skilled ventriloquist!
