In My Skin
Esther, a young research analysist, has an accident which leaves her badly cut and she develops an unhealthy obsession with what her body holds and how it separates her from the world outside. Understandibly, Esther's relationships are tried as she becomes more physically self-destructive, but feels more enlightened as to her own nature. Writer Marina de Van ('Under the Sand, Eight Women') also acts and directs in this disturbingly thought-provoking film.
