Dégradé

2016, Movie, 1h 25min

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 lion 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 lion”?

Shot concurrently with the 2014 war, Dégradé is set almost exclusively inside a hair salon. (...) Twelve women chit-chat, bicker, and finally boil while a violent situation in the street keeps them pinned down.
