Plot Summary

Dr. Génessier is a renowned and respected Parisian surgeon who harbors a terrible secret. His daughter Christiane was horribly disfigured in a car accident that he caused, destroying her once-beautiful face and confining her to the family’s isolated mansion on the outskirts of Paris, where she drifts through the empty rooms like a ghost, wearing an expressionless white mask that conceals her ruined features.

Consumed by guilt and driven by his surgical genius, Dr. Génessier has embarked on a monstrous project: the heterograft — the surgical transplantation of a complete face from a living donor onto Christiane. With the help of his devoted assistant Louise, who owes her own reconstructed face to the doctor’s skill, Génessier abducts young women from the streets of Paris, brings them to his surgical theater in the mansion, and removes their faces in an attempt to give Christiane a new one.

But the operations repeatedly fail. Each transplanted face initially appears successful before the tissue is rejected and begins to decay, forcing the doctor to remove it and start again with a new victim. Christiane, haunted by her isolation and the knowledge of what her father is doing in her name, exists in a state of profound despair, caught between her desperate hope for restoration and her horror at the price being paid.

As the police investigation into the missing women intensifies and the latest operation reaches its critical phase, the fragile equilibrium of the household begins to collapse. Louise’s loyalty to the doctor is shaken, Christiane’s psychological state deteriorates further, and the imprisoned latest victim represents both the last hope for success and the final evidence of the doctor’s crimes. The film builds to a climax of devastating beauty and primal horror.
