‘Schorem’ is a short documentary on barbershop Schorem Haarsnijder & Barbier and owners Leen and Bertus. De men are followed in and around their successful barbershop in Rotterdam for a year. Their store was born out of passion for the centuries old handicraft of the barber. In two years the store has turned into a hype, known everywhere in the Netherlands. Every morning, men from all over the Netherlands come to the barbershop. The employees of Schorem are guys from the street, educated as a barber by Leen and Bertus. It is not possible to make an appointment. The waiting time is several hours, but the customers take that for granted.
Schorem (2014) is currently not available on any services.
