Brief Explanation

The film is a satirical comment about how the games ofpolitics exist in the least likely of places, leaving the viewer to imagine how deep these games run in actual governmental politics. It was commissioned by Mada Masr, an independent, progressive publication in Egypt that appeals to the well-informed mind. “Suzy’s Beauty Salon”, paints a vivid picture of the inner-workings of a beauty salon. It explores topics like power relations, ideologies, larceny, sleaze etc., words often associated with Politics, but shown through a more familiar lens.
