WHAT if you woke up one morning with a face as beautiful as Heart Evangelista’s? What would you do? How would your life change? And will you be getting everything you ever wanted – or experience heartbreak like never before?

ABS-CBN takes on yet another recent cinematic classic and gives it the luxe treatment with Sineserye Presents: Hiram na Mukha, a love triangle topbilled by Heart Evangelista, Geoff Eigenmann and TJ Trinidad and directed by Erick C. Salud and Trina Dayarit.

The original hit movie on which the new series is based was directed by Joel Lamangan.
Released in 1992, it starred Nanette Medved, Christopher de Leon and Cesar Montano.

Sineserye Presents: Hiram na Mukha is Heart’s grand return to the world of ABS-CBN’s teleseryes following her work on the epic Panday. This installment of Sineserye also reunites Heart and Geoff, who were first paired in in ABS-CBN’s megaserye Hiram.

In Sineserye Presents: Hiram na Mukha, Heart plays Clarissa, a woman born with a face resembling a monkey. Because of her looks, Clarissa can only work as a sideshow attraction in a low-rent perya, where she is abused and mistreated. She finally finds the opportunity to escape but is is nearly run over by TJ Trinidad who plays Hugo, a renowned plastic surgeon. In the car with Hugo is Alicia, Hugo’s beloved wife who, shortly after the incident, dies in a tragic car accident.

When Hugo and Clarissa’s paths cross again, Clarissa agrees to become the test patient for the revolutionary surgical procedure Hugo had been working on. But instead of giving Clarissa a new fresh face, Hugo decides to give her the features of his dead wife.
But can Clarissa truly be happy with a face – and a life – borrowed from a woman long dead? How will Hugo live with a woman who shares his wife’s face? And what will happen to her relationship with Mendez (Geoff Eigenmann), the only man who has ever seen the true beauty behind Clarissa’s “ugliness”?

Joining the three leads in the series are Cherrie Pie Picache as Rose, Alicia’s cousin and caretaker of Hugo’s vast wealth; Katya Santos as Morita, Alicia’s sister who has long been in love with Hugo; Sharmaine Centenera Buencamino as Timotea, Clarissa’s mother; and Eva Darren as Aling Azon, the kindly tiketera at the sideshow who takes Clarissa in after her escape. Also appearing in Sineserye Presents: Hiram na Mukha are talented actors Marissa Delgado, Anna Leah Javier, Justin de Leon, JE Sison and Matutina.

Mio Siojo serves as Sineserye Presents: Hiram na Mukha’s executive producer, with Nini Matilac as production manager. Rondel Lindayag is the series’ creative manager, and Reggie Amigo serves as the writer for the episodes. Deo Endrinal is Sineserye’s Executive in Charge of Production.
