The Hairdresser's Husband

The Hairdresser's Husband is a tightly knit, though slight, tale told in the best of humor. It's the story of despair bred by utter happiness.

"...by: Patrice Laconte. Starring: Jean Rochefort and Anna Galiena. Antoine, the hairdresser's husband, has what everyone wants: love, sex..."
