The Beautician

Synopsis

Two female beauticians(Liu Su-Ying and Liu Kui-Lan) who work in the Taipei No.1 and No.2 Public Funeral Homes are the center of this film. They slowly tell their work experiences, how they deal with their jobs, what their profession is like, and how they face their own inevitable deaths. Their narratives reveal their self-awareness and confidence in an admittedly unusual environment.
