In a post-apocalyptic future, The world collapsed after exhausting all its natural resources. To avoid new chaos, humanity adopts two radical solutions: a source of Energy based on genetically modified orchids and compulsory surgery that transforms everyone into physical people perfect. The premise is simple: if everyone looks equally well, conflicts linked to appearance are eliminated.
The operation is carried out to adolescents at the age of 16, who until then are considered “ugly.” Only once transformed can be moved to the city and start a new life as “perfect.” Tally Youngblood And your best friend Peris They await that moment with enthusiasm, but Peris, being older, is previously submitted to change.
