La Barberia (The Barbershop) May 9, 2011

Cervezas, baseball, music, politics and women are the heated topics at your neighborhood barberias. It is where locals, celebrities, baseball players, musicians, gangsters and cops can sit around and do their "boys will be boys" thing, regardless of their social or economic status. When Beny Acevedo, landlord and proprietor of a bustling Washington Heights barbershop, gets a multi-million dollar offer to sell his building, he faces the toughest decision of his life. Set against a score of original contemporary Latin music emanating from the airwaves, 'La Barberia' is a comedic and wistful portrait of a neighborhood in flux and a tribute to the strength of a community. 'La Barberia' is performed mostly in Spanish.
