Places are changing piece by piece, sometimes chaotically, and not always painlessly. The same happens with people's mindsets. To stop and dare to look inside yourself is most difficult on this path. This film tells the story of a small hairdresser's salon on the outskirts of Kyiv, Ukraine, which undertakes repairs to get rid of its Soviet aesthetics. The place continues to work while under construction. The workers are saving the furniture from the dust using depreciated historical memory: flags of the 2004 Orange Revolution. Visitors come hoping to leave the place with a new image, and share the absurd stories of their lives. Nobody doubts these confessions, just as nobody notices the chaos, noise and construction dust.
