The soul is immutable. No matter what face we are born with—or put on for the day—the soul is intrinsic and does not change. We all have a reason for being. The film begins in 1999 as Torey Harrah and her family prepare for a surgery that has only been performed 18 times in the world - she is about to get a new face. Torey was born with Apert Syndrome—a rare genetic condition that causes a skeletal mutation and a cranial-facial anomaly. Documenting more than 10 years, the film also includes the stories of two other girls with Apert Syndrome at different stages of treatment and growth. With love and humor, the film allows a profound view into a world we would normally avert our eyes from, out of politeness or fear. Their stories challenge the way we view the world, as well as force us to examine our own values and consider what is really important in life.

A story that not only should be told, but needed to be told. Great job to all the cast and crew!
