Kira Mabon (Rebecca Forsythe) is a young woman with frequent memory losses. She slightly recalls Jonas Swierczynski (Sean Knopp), who had one night stand with her and does not remember where she lives. Her next-door neighbor, the lesbian Sophia Demeraux (Lucie Aron), visits her to know whether she is OK, and they befriend each other. Out of the blue, Kira's hand begins to age and deteriorate, and Kira runs to Dr. Rafaela Crober (Barbara Crampton), who takes samples of her skin to investigate what is happening with Kira. She requests a transplant of skin, but Dr. Crober tells her that she needs the results of the exams first. During the night, her skin deteriorates in other areas, and she goes to Dr. Czerny (Adnan Maral) in a hospital to request a skin transplant. He says that it is not possible, and she needs to wait for Dr. Crober. But soon Kira learns that she can replace her deteriorate skin by a fresh one and she starts a crime spree to replace her skin. One night, she breaks in Dr. Crober's office and discovers the truth about her and Dr. Crober.
"Replace" (2017) is a strange movie with an interesting plot, but messy and boring screenplay and direction. The story makes sense after the discovery of Kira about the relationship between Dr. Crober and she, but the slow pace does not help to develop the plot. The conclusion is predictable. My vote is five.
Title (Brazil): "Replace - Maldição de Pele" ("Replace - Course of Skin")
