Jacek loves heavy metal and his dog. He converts the country lanes in front of his front door to the race track, which he drives along in his small car. When he enters the dance floor with his girlfriend Dagmara, everyone else immediately steps down. He enjoys being a cool outsider in an otherwise rather bourgeois environment. He trains his muscles during his work on a large construction site near the Polish-German border, where the world's largest statue of Jesus is to be built. But a serious work accident lets his life get out of the groove. Completely deformed, the first face transplant in the country is carried out on Jacek with the active participation of the Polish public. Celebrated as a national hero and martyr, he does not recognize himself in the mirror. But the statue of Jesus is getting higher and higher. While the events around Jacek roll over, the film retains an overview and seems to make the camera lens even sharper. In the form of an evil farce, Twarz reflects Polish conditions, explores life in the province and shows a country that has its faith set in stone.
