Grafted
- Sasha Rainbow
- New Zealand
Young Wei is a blossoming scientist continuing the controversial, yet innovative research on skin grafting begun by her late father. Shunned by her family in China because of a hereditary facial disfigurement, she gets a scholarship to study in New Zealand, where she stays with her kind but absent aunt and mean-girl cousin Angela. Wei proves herself a brilliant student who catches the attention of a down-on-his-luck professor, but is still mercilessly bullied by Angela and her popular friends. Then she reaches her breaking point. What ensues is a gut-wrenching dive into visceral body horror, where vengeance and scientific hubris collide to lead Wei on a violent quest to possess the power of beauty and popularity at any cost. Grafted is a deliciously disgusting ride that pushes the societal obsession with normative beauty to horrific extremes.
