| Description |
Facing Goya is a taut thriller that follows one woman's passionate search for the 18th century Spanish artist Goya's missing skull. Legend has it that Goya asked friends to remove his head prior to burial to prevent tomb thieves and early craniometrists from getting hold of his brain for research. In Facing Goya, one woman takes us into the world of cloning and genetic profiteering. Surrounded by zealous scientists and business executives, she confronts the temptation of cloning Goya's creativity for commercial profit, as Goya's skull and DNA are fed to those exploiting science's triumph over nature. |
