Drawing inspiration from Frankenstein and the French classic Eyes Without a Face , Ledgard acts as a modern-day god, manipulating human biology to suit his obsession.
The story follows Dr. Robert Ledgard (Banderas), a world-renowned plastic surgeon haunted by the tragic death of his wife in a fiery car accident. Driven by grief, he develops "GAL," a synthetic, near-indestructible human skin that is impervious to burns and insect bites.
The narrative challenges the audience's morality by blurring the lines between protagonist and antagonist, forcing viewers to reconsider what constitutes true justice.
