In the 1930s, a group of children are born with a rare condition: they feel no pain. After being locked away for life for their own safety, the children are subjected to rehabilitation away from society. In the present day, David (Alex Brendemühl) is a brilliant neurosurgeon, utterly driven in his job. Following a deadly accident and a near terminal cancer diagnosis, the only treatment left for David leads him into the dark secrets his parents had kept hidden. David’s present and past become intertwined with the fate of the ‘painless’, his investigations uncovering horrors and secrets that others had chosen to forget.
Director: Juan Carlos Medina
