Actor and comedian John Cleese sets out on an odyssey to discover the mysteries of communication, identity, perception, and sexuality hidden behind the mask of the human face. Looking at the practical effects of beauty, the nature of fame, and the face's ability to give away emotion, this series combines technology and human-interest stories to uncover some surprising secrets. Cleese is joined in this quest by a number of well known faces - actors Elizabeth Hurley, Pierce Brosnan, Candice Bergen, and Michael Palin.
