About this work
Description
This documentary is about Jose Maestre, a 51-year-old man from Lisbon who has an enormous tumour which has virtually taken over his entire face and is suffocating it. The tumour, a vascular malformation, first showed as a birth mark which began to swell when Jose was 14 - it is still growing at a fast rate. Jose has so far resisted surgery because he's a Jehovah's Witness and refuses to receive a blood transfusion.
