Man is shaving a woman set in germany

This unassuming shaving ritual transports you into the undeniably erotic embrace between power and masculinity.

A young priest visits a barber's shop to get shaved. When he leans back and closes his eyes, the barbers decide to play a prank on him. Instead of a male barber they let a female hairdresser take care of the shaving. When the priest feels her soft fingers on his skin, he opens his eyes and sees the woman. He cannot do anything but stay in the chair, as he has shaving cream all around his chin. The woman continues the shaving in a rather sensual way. When the priest leaves the barber's shop, he looks disconcerted.

In Shaved, Hess examines the aerodynamics of the human body. For the short film, a swimmer was covered from head to toe in a thick layer of shaving foam. Hess teamed up with a pair of human shavers manipulating a two-meter long blade, turning a mechanical act of grooming into a strangely hypnotic performance.

A documentary with fictious elements. Ms. Elisabeth (Lieschen) Müller from Austria comes to Bonn, Germany to find herself a man. During the search she investigates the connections between neckties, political power and prostitution, and tries to look for the influence the german feminist movement had on the men in Germany's capital.

One man shaves another in this highly charged erotic performance.
