Most art films tend to be a bit more extreme in their creative direction, but this Spanish film really pushed the boundaries.

So what is the film about:

"SKINS tells the story of misshapen people who force themselves to hide, stay under the radar or connect between them. SAMANTHA, who has her digestive system upside down, LAURA a girl born without eyes or ANA, a woman who has her face distorted. Lonely characters who are fighting to find their own place in a society which just understands regular body types, a society which outcast the people who are different."
