A HAIRCUT STORY

In March 2013, Cyprus became the first Eurozone member state to be subjected to a bail-in on deposits, as a means to rescue the island’s problematic banks. Depositors of the two largest banks of the island experienced a dramatic haircut of their life savings. One year later, an entrepreneur, a pensioner, a German depositor and an ex-bank employee narrate their personal haircut stories. The unemployment rate hits a record high while a group of young people starts an initiative for the future. Meanwhile, a lawyer is prosecuted for an act of civil disobedience. In this documentary, seven stories emerge from the black hole of the banks.
