Winner of the Queer Lion at the Venice Film Festival, "Skin Deep" subverts genre and gender as it flows between body swap thriller and intimate relationship drama. While on a retreat to try to salvage their relationship, Leyla and Tristan join another couple in a ritual to exchange bodies. What emerges is a story that embraces the endless fluid possibilities of what it means to truly love someone.
