In My Skin

In My Skin Description

Marina de Van writes, directs and stars in this French psychological drama about a young woman who spirals into a cycle of physical self-harm. When Esther (de Van), a sweet and self-conscious young woman with a good job and a steady boyfriend, falls and suffers injuries to her leg, she gradually becomes obsessed with her own body and skin to the point where she begins aggressively carving wounds into her own flesh. Her boyfriend Vincent (Laurent Lucas) is understandably concerned and angry but his inability to understand her disturbed psychological state forces Esther into further isolation and torment.
