Sinopsis / Synopsis:

Marina's face suddenly changed. As in a Kafkaesque nightmare, one day, at the age of 30, his face stopped being what it was. Who is now? Through Marina's story, the film delves into a reflection on the meaning of the face, an emblem of our identity and the nerve center of how we connect with others, human or not. Can we be someone beyond our face, beyond our image?
