A dark, melancholic exploration of identity and obsessive love, where a woman's desperate attempt to reclaim her lover's affection becomes a tragic meditation on the impossibility of recapturing the past.

Consumed by jealousy, a woman takes an extreme step and undergoes surgery for a new face. Although her lover of 2 years misses her, he falls in love with the new face, not knowing it's the same woman.
