​

A young Barber loses his memory after fighting in a terrible war. When he’s allowed to go back to his regular work, he learns that the country for which he risked his life has since changed and that it now persecutes his people. This is largely thanks to a warmongering Dictator with a chip on his shoulder.

Both Barber and Dictator are played by the same performer and show how the same person has the potential for great evil as well as great courage to do what is right.

​

With the help of old allies and new friends, the Barber resists his oppressors until a stroke of luck enables him to share his values with the world.
