The story about a hypnotist whose stage act is to give contrasting personalities to his audience members: but during one of his shows, after hypnotizing ten “victims”, he suffers a stroke and falls into a coma. The question is, then: how are these people supposed to come back to their normal lives?

Claude Duty's feature-length debut Filles Perdues, Cheveux Gras (Hypnotized and Hysterical, (Hairstylist Wanted)) is an offbeat comedy about three women. Elodi (Olivia Bonamy) is a struggling single mother. Natacha (Marina Fois) is an upbeat alcoholic hair stylist whose beloved pet cat has disappeared. Marianne (Amira Casar) is drawn to a roguish, sexually adventurous art dealer. Their lives intertwine in a variety of ways. Song and dance numbers, as well as animated sequences, punctuate the film.
