Edition 2010

Hair India

The journey of a young Indian woman’s hair, donated to the Temple to be then converted into exquisite hair extensions in Italy. This same hair will then return to India to satisfy the whim of a successful career woman in Bombay. A story of the cult of beauty in the era of globalization. An original view of today’s India with its contradictions. A kaleidoscope of modernity, economic expansion and ancient traditions.
