Synopsis: After causing a car accident that leaves his daughter Christiane severely disfigured, the brilliant surgeon Dr. Génessier, insane with grief and guilt, works tirelessly to give the girl a new face.

All the experiments fail, the victims die, but Génessier keeps trying… until the girl begins to suspect what is really going on.
