Professor Lorenzi, an erudite of plastic surgery, has a secret: he rebuilt the face of a man accused of horrible war crimes during the ethnic conflict in former Yugoslavia. Some Balkan refugees have identified a man named Drago who may be the commander accused of the crimes. They are ready to unveil him, but the only existing proofs are in the hands of the Italian professor. A medical conference in Barcelona is the pretext for setting up a meeting between the refugees and the doctor who has decided to cooperate. But Drago, of course, will strike back.
