Jacek loves heavy metal, his girlfriend and his dog. His family, his small hometown, his fellow parishioners all see him as an amusing freak. Jacek works at the construction site of what it is supposed to become the tallest statue of Jesus in the world. When a severe accident disfigures him completely, all eyes turn to him as he undergoes the first facial transplant in the country. A fable that discloses the levity and hypocrisy of countryside, small-town Poland.

Winner of the grand jury prize at the Berlin Film Festival.
