Seeking a retreat where they can salvage their struggling relationship, young couple Leyla (Mala Emde) and Tristan (Jonas Dassler) travel to a remote island at the invitation of Leyla’s childhood friend Stella, where it soon becomes clear that what the island offers is more mysterious than a simple vacation. <br /><br />Subverting genre and gender as it toggles from body swap thriller to intimate relationship drama, Skin Deep tells a story that transcends bodies, embracing the endless fluid possibilities in the question of what it means to truly love someone. <br /><br />Winner of the Queer Lion at the Venice Film Festival and directed by Student Academy Award® winner Alex Schaad.<br /><br />In US theaters February 2, 2024 from @kinolorber.<br /><br />Skin Deep on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/BYgG
