The Man Who Sold His Skin
Details
Set in present-day Europe, the film explores the complex themes of identity, freedom, and the commodification of human beings. Sam's choice to sell his skin is portrayed as a desperate attempt to gain asylum, support his family, and have a chance at a better life. However, as the consequences of his decision slowly unravel, he begins to question if the price he paid was worth it.
The film highlights the exploitation and objectification of refugees, shedding light on the dehumanizing treatment they often face. Sam's transformation into a living artwork becomes a powerful metaphor for the way society commodifies and profits from human suffering.

With its stunning visuals and compelling performances, this film offers a unique perspective on the refugee experience.
