BIG HAIR WOMAN is a "docu-comedy" which gives the audience a slice or three of ordinary life in contemporary Papua New Guinea. It stars Australia's most famous Greek hairdresser, Effie, played by Mary Coustas. As Effie, the tourist from hell, is let loose in this wonderful land of contrasts, we, the audience, go with her. The film is half documentary, half bizarre comedy. With its award winning cinematography and original style, it is a journey of discovery that informs as it entertains.
