Synopsis/Details
While driving in misty conditions on a dark, eerie night in the Romanian woods around Bucharest, an argument develops between husband and wife. The wife ends up physically abused, badly bashed, and scarred. The altercation causes the car to go off the road, crashing into the trees, leaving her husband dead and her clinging to life. Rescued by locals, they are taken to the nearest clinic: the Eternal Cryogenics Facility, a place rumored to have questionable medical practices. Both victims undergo the clinic’s procedures, perhaps with more care than necessary. Their bodies are placed in cryogenic freezing compartments, with resuscitation dates set for ten years later. Both victims are cryogenic scientists with expertise similar to the clinic's head, prompting him to revive the woman prematurely. A scar remains on her face, along with new medical conditions acquired during her time in cryogenic suspension. However, her memory from childhood onward is remarkably intact and crystal clear. She recalls in vivid detail the events leading up to the accident, including the beating at her husband’s hands and the suspicious treatment she received while dying on the operating table. The days following her resuscitation reveal deep flaws in her physical appearance and psychological state. Her disfigurement, more complex than the scar, fluctuates throughout the day—at times, she appears almost divine, while at others, she looks grotesque, like something out of a nightmare. This extreme shift in appearance deepens her psychological afflictions and distorts her sense of self. It also disrupts any possibility of intimacy, as her ever-changing form makes sexual encounters feel unattainable, if not unbearable. She decides to seek revenge, but her only options are against her boss and her husband, once he's revived. Unable to fully heal, she vows to impose her desires on others as she sees fit.
