The curious case of my face

Published 15 Aug, 2014 10:18 | Updated 15 Aug, 2014 10:17

These people look decades older than their real age. This is due to a genetic condition that affects their skin's elasticity: dermatochalasia. While their bodies and souls are still young, their faces trick others into believing otherwise. Irina, a 30-year old single mother, doesn’t let it stop her from living life to the full. She counts her blessings and appreciates that her condition doesn’t actually make her age faster. Her son, Kirill, has also inherited the disease. He’s plotting to find her a good husband. Meanwhile, student Ekaterina has already found one and they are expecting their first child. The film poses the question of just how much looks matter in modern society.
