When his hairdressing salon is destroyed by the municipality, Romeo finds himself moving from one neighbourhood to another. He settles in a little makeshift shack, but dreams of one day building a permanent salon. Meanwhile, this tiny open space on the street echoes the outside, the daily news, the population's hopes and angers in a country of poverty and corruption.
