In an alternative future in which the Cold War never ended, a man called David, flees the city with his pregnant wife, Abigail, in search of freedom.
Based on an unrealized film script written in 1964 for The Homosexual Law Reform Society, a British organisation that campaigned for the decriminalization of homosexual relations between men, "The Colour Of His Hair" merges drama and documentary into a meditation on queer life before and after the partial legalization of homosexuality in 1967.
