Logline

Barber Yoshino

In a small town in the countryside, where everyone knows everyone, all the children pay their respects to the middle-aged woman who runs "Barber Yoshino". An old tradition is rooted in this town. Every young boy has to have the same ridiculous hairstyle, to have their bangs cut straight, known as the "Yoshino-gari" hairstyle. Of course they all get their hair done at the only barbershop in town, "Barber Yoshino". Then one day, a drastic change occurs when a transfer student with bleached hair arrives from Tokyo...
