The regular practice of hair removal, done in many expensive and painful and creative ways within middle eastern culture, combines the old with the new traditions, the ancient with the technologically advanced, and ultimately, strings together past and future generations by the very genetic material that expresses in all hairy Persian girls at one time or another. Farah (aka “Maman”), Miriam and Layla are three middle aged witchy sisters with years of baggage and inches of stubborn body hair. As the matriarchs gather for their monthly hair removal and chai session, their daughters - 18-year- old Rina and 11-year-old Nora, observe and are engulfed in the madness of hair and the whirlwind of emotions that come with unfinished business for the suburbanite Iranian diaspora. Things get larger than life, blending comedy and tragedy as each woman erupts with pent up feelings from the past and one final hair almost gets the best of them.

They rip! They tear, they thread, and they unravel years of trauma all while teaching their daughters how to do the same one day. Nora, having just learned how to thread, receives the call of duty and must prove her Persian chops... for the family!
