Feisty, fiercely independent and firmly rooted in place, 90 year-old Mabel Robinson broke barriers back in the 40s when she became the first woman in Hubbards, Nova Scotia, to launch her own business—a hairdressing salon where she still provides shampoo-n-sets over 70 years later. Weaving animation and archival imagery with intimate and laugh out loud moments in the salon, the film celebrates the power of friendship, doing what you love and staying active. With no desire to retire anytime soon, Mabel gives voice to a generation who are not front and center of cinema or the pop hairstyles of the day, and subtly shifts the lens on our perception of beauty and the elderly.

The music playing on a staticy radio inspires a woman in the midst of domestic duties to day dream.

Stricken with shame resulting from the circumstances of her husband’s murder, Bree (Ohm) enters a cursed apartment that entraps and torments her. Terrified and all alone, Bree is driven to take her own life, but even dying isn’t an escape. Now in another layer of the incessant haunting, Bree discovers other women who have met a similar end, all stuck in their individual loops and made to face their shame for what appears to be an eternity. Together they must unravel the terrifying mysteries keeping them hostage, so that they may finally ‘move on’ and prevent another tenant falling victim to the apartment.
