About

The Skin I Live In is a thrilling tale of obsession, directed by Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar. Antonio Banderas stars as a widowed surgeon who has become consumed by his desire to make an artificial skin that is resistant to burns. Isolated by the medical community due to the nature of his experiments, he continues his unsanctioned tests on a kidnapped young woman with secrets of her own. Blending horror and melodrama to powerful effect, Almodóvar crafts a mesmerising exploration of the limits of science and the nature of the human soul.
