Philippine-born Vancouverite Sophia is most grateful for two things: her modest hair salon and Adrian, her mild-mannered fianc\u00e9. She is eager to get married, move away from her highly educated but career-frustrated parents, who believe that their daughter can be so much more than a beautician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then Sophia\u2019s estranged friend reaches out from Manila, desperate for help. After a dubious accident, her fiery Auntie Rosy is on the verge of losing the Cine Star Salon\u2014the place where Sophia first felt the call to become a hairstylist and salon owner. Coming to her auntie\u2019s aid is not so easy though. Sophia worries helping might reopen old wounds and threaten the bright future she has planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
