From external to internal transformations: the journey of a person with a congenital condition toward a new appearance—and, ultimately, a new life. Ivan has lived with Crouzon syndrome since birth. Like many patients, his condition directly affects his quality of life: how do others—including his family—perceive him? How does he see the world himself? How difficult is it to accept one’s condition and embrace change? This film explores the vital partnership between patient and doctor through surgeries and long rehabilitations, highlights innovative approaches in maxillofacial surgery, and reflects on the process of rediscovering oneself.
