Swan Song, a lovely drama based on the true story of its main character, introduces us to retired hairdresser and local iconic bar performer Pat Pitsenbarger, played wonderfully by Udo Kier, who has given up on life from the confines of his small-town Sandusky, Ohio nursing home. But when Pat gets word that a former client’s dying wish was for him to style her final hairdo, he sets out on an epic journey across Sandusky to confront the ghosts of his past – and collect the beauty supplies necessary for the job. Swan Song is a comical and bittersweet journey about rediscovering oneself, and looking gorgeous while doing so.
