About
Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
A tale of murder, crime and punishment set in the summer of 1949. Ed Crane, a barber in a small California town, is dissatisfied with his life, but his wife Doris' infidelity and a mysterious opportunity presents him with a chance to change it.
Ed Crane exists in a quiet, monochrome void, a barber whose profound numbness meets its match in a sudden, accidental criminal opportunity. This stark noir captures the hollow ache of a life unlived through hauntingly still compositions and a heavy, existential stillness.
