    • Synopsis
    • Our physical appearance conditions us toward society, whether or not we have chosen it. SKINS is the story of physically different people who, for that very reason, have been forced into hiding, into becoming recluses, or joining together. Samantha, a woman whose digestive system is backward, Laura, a girl with no eyes, and Ana, a woman with a deformed face. Lovely characters struggling to find themselves in a society that only understands one physical form and that excludes and mistreats anyone different.
