The Village Barbershop Directed by Chris Ford, 2007

Art Leroldi is terminal. Terminally irritable, that is. A small-time Reno barber stuck in a rut of haircuts, hot dogs and horse books, he lives every day like a warmed-over version of the last. Hit with the unexpected death of his long-time business partner and last apparent friend, he’s faced with losing the only thing in life he’s got left – his “man’s man” barbershop. To keep it, he’ll be forced to hire the last person on earth he’d ever want working there – a woman. More specifically, Gloria MacIntyre, a spitfire young lady who suddenly finds herself unable to take Art’s “no” for an answer. This poignant comedy tells the humorous, sweet story of a fading old man who has lost his way and a determined young woman looking to find hers. Two unlikely people offered a second chance in one unlikely place – The Village Barbershop.
