Jacek (Kosciukiewicz) is a welder, employed on a project to construct the largest Jesus statue in the world (it really exists), has long hair, listens to heavy metal and lives with his ultra-Catholic family on a farm in Poland. He is severely injured and hideously disfigured in a work accident. He’s given a face-transplant but remains blind in one eye and unable to speak clearly enough to be understood. His fiancée (Gorol) leaves him, his mother believes he’s possessed by the previous owner of the face and everyone in the village shuns him.
It’s called a comedy. Could’ve fooled me.
It’s depressing. Absurd with deserved pokes at the Catholic Church and family
greed, but depressing.
