"Barber in Paradise" is a story about a Hindu man's struggle to earn his place in a society where he always been treated as an outsider. Pradeep Kumar Shil and his family are the only Hindu inhabitants among five thousand Muslims on the Island of Saint Martin's off the coast of Bangladesh. His ancestors, barbers by profession, were one of first families to make the island their home. As time passed, their home was taken away from them by Muslim landowners. After his Father passed away, he took over the family business and runs his own barber shop now. He has given up his fight to get his ancestral land back, but has started a new journey as he is trying to buy a new piece of land on the Island to make it his home again. His business is not doing that good, but he has only two months to clear a payment of 1,600 US Dollars and register the land to his own name.
