Beauty Salon Becomes Refuge Between Life and Death

Worldwide sales rights for Salón De Belleza, a film set in a beauty salon serving as a refuge during a mysterious disease, have been acquired by The Pool Films. This project marks the directorial debut of Mexican actress Nathalia Acevedo, renowned for her role in Carlos Reygadas's 'Post Tenebras Lux.'

The film's narrative centers on the Individuo, who tends to the salon where time and reality blur, creating a space for lived, remembered, and imagined experiences. Meaning is found through ritual and reflection on human fragility.

Produced by Kintsugi Cine and Farol, the production boasts a notable crew, including cinematographer Balthazar Lab and production designer Nathan Parker. Sam Louwyck and Erwan Kepoa Falé star in the film, adapted from Mario Bellatin's novel.
