BLOWOUT
In the glamorous yet superficial world of a high-end London hair salon, 21-year-old Lydia, the only Black employee, struggles in her role as the salon’s receptionist. As she navigates feeling invisible, her quiet resolve builds toward a covert act of defiance that reveals the cracks beneath the salon’s polished exterior.
