In Gaza, two hairdressers and ten customers of various ages and backgrounds spend the day trapped in a beauty salon while Hamas police fight a gang in the street.

A hot summer's day in the Gaza Strip. Today the electricity is on. Christine's beauty salon is heaving with female clients: a bride-to-be, a pregnant woman, a bitter divorcée, a devout woman and a pill-popping addict. But their day of leisure is disrupted when gunfire breaks out across the street. A gangland family has stolen the lioness from Gaza's only zoo, and Hamas has decided it's time to settle old scores. Stuck in the salon, with the prospect of death drawing ever nearer, the women start to unravel. How will the day end? Will they lose their lives for the sake of "liberating the lioness"?—anonymous

A mafia family stole the lion from the Gaza zoo and the Hamas decides to sort out their case. Trapped in the armed conflict, thirteen women are stuck in Christine's small hair dresser. This relaxing venue becoming over excited in one after noon will face the confrontation of amazing personalities.—Carthage Film Festival

In Gaza, ten female costumers are in the beauty shop owned by Christine, who studied in Russia. Her spoiled daughter is waiting for her father to go home. Her assistant is having a troubled relationship with her violent mate Ahmed that has stolen a lion. She spends time in her cellphone calling Ahmed. The clients include the stressed and bitter divorcée Eftikhar, who is preparing for a date with her lawyer; a bride-to-be that is preparing for her wedding; a pregnant woman; a pious woman; a drugged lunatic and gossiper; a divorced woman. Along the day, there is power outage, disturbing the work of the hairdressers and the ventilation in the shop. Later, there is a shootout with the Hamas on the street, and the women are stranded in the beauty shop in an environment of tension.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
