The things the love of a madman can do...

Dr. Robert Ledgard (Antonio Banderas) is a brilliant plastic surgeon obsessed with creating a synthetic skin impervious to damage. Behind the walls of his sleek Madrid home, he keeps a woman named Vera (Elena Anaya) in isolation, tending to her with clinical precision and mounting devotion. What binds them together is far older and darker than either of them admits, and the truth of their arrangement begins to crack the surface.
