Los lunes en Racine

SINOPSIS

This Oscar®-nominated documentary short tells the story of two Long Island sisters who, once a month, open their beauty salon to female cancer patients, free of charge, helping them feel beautiful while fighting an ugly disease.
Directed by Oscar®-winner Cynthia Wade, Mondays at Racine tells the uplifting story of Rachel Demolfetto and Cynthia Sansone, two sisters who do their part in the fight against cancer by providing free beauty treatments - hair, makeup, manicures and pedicures - to cancer patients at their salon every month. The sisters have a personal motivation in offering such treatments: they watched their mother grow reclusive and depressed after being diagnosed with breast cancer in the 1980s. Now, they own a beauty salon called Racine in Long Island, NY, which they open free of charge to women with cancer once a month on Mondays. Their goal: to give cancer patients a sense of normalcy and beauty, and in doing so, combat the fear that accompanies the disease.
