Plot

edit

In Barcelona, a rich family lives in a mansion so big that their garden stays open during the day as a public park. Paul is the only son of a couple who lives in the premises and tends to the flowers of the garden. He was supposed to be in medical school learning to become a heart surgeon, but his teachers kicked him out because he gets very nervous when he sees blood, causing his hands to shake.

At home, Paul collects many things, like butterflies and broken dolls. He also has a doll mask that hangs from a mirror and talks to him: the ghost of his deceased sister Catherine uses Paul to do her bidding, forcing him to commit grizly murders inside the park premises.

When Paul's parents leave for an extended vacation, the Condessa who is married to the master of the mansion woos Paul to become her lover, but he doesn't want to. Instead, he falls in love with Audrey, the Condessa's young daughter, and the two begin a strange romance involving showroom dummies and homemade heart surgery. Paul also begins a new collection: human hearts that he removes from his victims...
