Bad Hair Day is a 39-minute absurd comedy inspired by Larry David and the Coen brothers. The film follows Ismaël, a 21-year-old Franco-Moroccan student, who discovers he’s starting to go bald on the same day he unexpectedly secures a date with Lilah, a foreign classmate. Determined to solve his problem, Ismaël’s attempts only lead to increasingly ridiculous situations. From consulting online forums and his imam to turning to his family, his journey is filled with absurd gags and mishaps. After adopting a misguided solution from his best friend, Ismaël’s cover-up is humorously exposed, resulting in a final scene where he accepts his baldness surrounded by friends and family.
