Boris, the loneliest man in the world, has lost a part of himself and is ready to put his body through terrible pain, to wipe out and destroy his own identity in order to cleanse his soul. His story goes back to childhood. He and his twin sister, each incomplete without the other, are left orphans and land in the warped world of a home for old people and children with mental illness, where they fall under the power of a woman with grave disturbances of her own. There the bond between the twins faces its hardest test, the humanity of each is put at stake, and a startling self-hatred is born that will drive a man to shed his own skin. A tale of redemption, and of the cage of reality each of us builds with our choices.
