El Transplante focuses on the story of "a mature couple" who "sees the need to renew their bodies to avoid being fired from their jobs", but who only have enough money for one of them. That limiting circumstance will force them to make decisions.
Santi, a young high-school student with a serious physical reaction to sunlight, is forced by his health to move with his single mother to a shadowy, isolated village in the mountains of Spain where the inhabitants begin to reveal themselves as strangely xenophobic. When terrible, violent events begin to occur, Santi becomes first a pariah at school and then strongly suspected by the police of hideous murders. Santi himself, however, wonders if he is not the next victim.
