Thirteen-year-old Aurelie faces the plight of how to fit in while encountering bullies at a new school. Meanwhile, her parents obsess over hair as they yearn for confidence and artistic drive. The comedy’s misadventures involve adolescence, poorly made toupees, and social awkwardness. Hairstyles are temporary, but family is forever.
