Hairstory
Si̇nema Transtopia
Cherrie is determined to win her fifth Mother’s Day Hair Show with her teenage daughter Berta by her side. But when Berta pushes back, the day takes an unexpected turn that could cost them the title—or change their relationship forever. The film explores how Berta’s actions, though initially seen as rebellious, ultimately bring them closer. A vibrant portrait of family and individuality. The film is considered a significant work for its exploration of colorism and its impact on the Black community.
