The World of a Barber´s Shop tells the story of six hair strands, which belong to six different heads of six different people. They´ve all come from different countries and distinct backgrounds. Their hair types may be very diverse, for example wavy like the Portuguese cab driver Guimbra, straight and black like the bolivian dressmaker Lucy, thin like the Japanese masseuse Yamaguche, scarce like Spanish barber Fombelida, or even full like the Syrian housewife Fatimah, and unruly like the Italian shoe man Consolato. However, underneath it all, it´s not that big of a difference. This documentary tells, through six distinct hair strands, the stories of foreign immigrants that made their move to Sao Paulo during the 20th century.
