It’s 2012 and Joshua Aversana is a young 21. One night, as he attempts to cross the street, he is struck by a car. At the hospital the doctors discover the shocking truth: he is braindead. The parents descend into mourning at the thought of having lost their only son so young. But then Dr. Eduardo Rodriguez wants to transplant the face of the deceased 21-year-old onto Richard’s head.
Joshua’s parents are shocked and mortified. But they agree: they don’t want their son’s death to be in vain. But there has never been a transplantation in history swapping an entire face! Richard’s chance of survival is only 50 percent. But the 37-year-old doesn’t hesitate for a moment: he has nothing to lose.
The operation lasts 36 hours. When Richard awakens again, he has a new face. It is absolutely astounding! Richard cannot believe his fortune: for the first time in 15 years he feels complete. Finally he can lead a normal life again.
3 years later Richard is visited by a very special person: Rebecca Aversana, the sister of the dead Joshua. The young woman wants to meet the man who now wears her brother’s face. The face that she looked at daily for 21 years long until it was torn from her life.
