Cornered in Molenbek

Cornered in Molenbeek follows the ins and outs of the everyday life in this sleepy corner of Brussels, generally a place with relatively little importance for the outside world. Coiffure Zaïdi is a barber shop in the heart of Molenbeek, Brussels. The clientele of Coiffure Zaïdi consists merely of local Muslims. Often they enter to have a shave, a haircut or just a chat. However, as the shop decided to close for a day horrible news breaks and ultimately changes life for the neighborhood.
