With seemingly everyone talking about transplant tourism these days, this touching comedy about two men bonding over baldness has come along at just the right time. Starts 4pm.

After a chance meeting, Jérémy and Baptiste decide to go to Turkey to get hair transplants together. Almost total strangers, the two embark on a highly personal shared experience in a foreign country. Negotiating medical appointments in English (almost no one speaks their language, French), and at times with heightened emotions leading to awkward situations, they come to terms with these new versions of themselves.

Funny, heartfelt and honest, the film stars two friends of the director who are not actors, but two people who really wanted to get hair transplants. The procedures in the film are real, and most of the other performers are non-actors who the team met along the way. The result is a truthful, documentary-like film that captures Turkey at a pivotal moment during the 2023 elections.
