The Promise background

The Promise

A mother's all-consuming desire for beauty leads her to make a shocking decision, granting her son's disfigured girlfriend a new face - but only if she accepts a morally complex deal.

A couple from different socioeconomic backgrounds elope, but their joy is short-lived as they're involved in a devastating car crash that leaves the bride disfigured. The husband's mother offers to fund the bride's reconstructive surgery, but at a steep price: she must abandon her husband and never contact him again.
