Huda's Salon
Nadia, a young mother married to a jealous man, goes to Huda’s salon in Bethlehem, for a haircut and an attentive ear. But this ordinary visit turns sour when Huda, after having put Nadia in a shameful situation, blackmails her to have her work for the secret service of the occupiers, and thus betray her people.
As Nadia escapes the salon, that same night, Huda is arrested by Hasan and other members of the resistance. They find nameless pictures of all the women Huda recruited, including Nadia’s. Huda knows that she will be executed the moment she gives up the names. She tries to buy herself as much time as possible.
“Huda’s Salon” is a heart-racing, entertaining feminist thriller inspired by real events, where two women fight for their freedom.
