Sobre IBD

The Lonely Barber is an urban love story, a dark romance. On the cusp of making business plans for the future, a man nicknamed Lonely clashes with the past. Despite hostility, menace and violence, he seeks his bliss in the city. Love makes its erotic appearance in his life. Unlooked for, the love of his life makes her splashy entrance in the big city. Strapped together in pursuit of their love-dream, they come under the fast-paced and lunatic influence of the city’s unique beauty. By means of cooperation and collaboration, they surrender to the city’s passionate and noisy love for them. The Lonely Barber, as he discovers the true worth of city life through love and work, realizes that he is “lonely” no more. 3
