The Skin I Live In
“An Almodóvar movie with all the attendant gifts that implies: lapidary technique, calculated perversity, intelligent wit.” – New York Times

After twelve years, he manages to cultivate a skin that is a real shield against every assault. In addition to years of study and experimentation, Robert needed a further three things: no scruples, an accomplice and a human guinea pig. Golden Globe nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.
