Skin Deep

Skin Deep (Aus meiner Haut, 2023) is a German fantasy drama you can watch online on iFILM, the debut feature of director Alex Schaad. Starring Mala Emde and Jonas Dassler.

Leyla and Tristan travel to a remote island, where the guests they meet offer something strange: a chance to swap bodies. Not a metaphor. The swap happens, and what follows is a precise study of what that does to desire, to memory, to a relationship. Emde and Dassler carry both sides of the exchange convincingly. Schaad's film is uncomfortable in exactly the ways it intends to be. Watch Skin Deep online on iFILM.
