Il bisticcio del riccio meticcio
The Mixed Curl Quarrel
Céline Lancini
Aymara belongs to two worlds – Swiss and South American – but feels at home in neither. Her Afro hair, in particular, marks her otherness and, against her mother’s wishes, she decides to straighten it. To capture this inner conflict, the film embraces a sensory, physically intimate aesthetic in both image and sound, using close-ups that let you almost feel the hair – curly and straight, cold and warm.
