A 30-year-old man, who has been in a coma since birth, is finally restored to consciousness by a breakthrough brain operation. Although physically an adult, the man is "reborn" in the eye of an infant; the doctors caring for him must teach him to walk, talk and prepare for life in the outside world. Tension builds as he escapes from the hospital, wanders among people who do not realize his identity, and is hunted by the police.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs a poignant bridge between medical speculation and intimate human drama, relying on the fundamental question of what constitutes a person. It explores the birth of a consciousness within an adult vessel, creating a near-clinical yet deeply emotional observation.

What lingers after the credits is a profound unease about the foundations of our own identity and the sheer vulnerability of being. The viewer is left with the haunting image of a world perceived for the very first time. — MovieFinder Editorial
