Les yeux sans visage (Occhi senza volto)
Parisian police puzzle over a number of young women who are being found murdered and with
their faces mutilated. Behind these is the renowned surgeon Professor Genessier. Genessier daughter
Christiane’s face was badly mutilated in an accident and he and his assistant Louise have faked her
death. They are abducting the woman and slicing their faces off in an attempt to perfect his heterograft
technique, which will allow him to reattach their faces to Christiane.
