This reminds me of a Twilight Zone episode ("Eye of the Beholder" in 1960 - yes, I am that old!). Most of the episode shows only shadows, without revealing faces. The story line is a young woman who is hideously ugly, and is about to get her last hope surgery to achieve a normal appearance. At the end the bandages are removed and you see a perfectly lovely woman. Then the camera pulls back to reveal that virtually everyone else has grotesque features, with pig-like noses. She is distraught because the surgery didn't work.

Ah, the tyranny of the average ;).
