Amidst the devastation of World War I, a young American woman named Abigale
Belorman discovers a profound calling: to restore hope to the WWI wounded
soldiers. In France they were called ‘Gueules Cassees’, or
‘Broken Faces’. Using her sculpting skills, she begins crafting
intricate masks that conceal the scars of war, offering a semblance of
normalcy to those who have endured unimaginable suffering.
Colm Harp, a skilled metalsmith, is driven by his own wounds and a personal
tragedy to join Abigale’s mission. His younger brother, Danny, has returned
from the war with devastating facial injuries, and Colm is determined to
give him a chance at a life worth living. Together, Colm and Abigale embark
on a journey of compassion and resilience, their work becoming a beacon of
hope for countless wounded soldiers.
As they navigate the challenges of war-torn Europe and the
limitations of early 20th-century medicine, Abigale and Colm discover the
transformative power of human will. Their story is a testament to the
resilience of the human spirit, the enduring power of love, and the
extraordinary lengths people will go to make a difference in the
world.
War changes all their lives, but if you can improve one
person’s life, is yours not for the better? What if you could help
hundreds? What would you give up?
