The Man Who Sold His Skin follows Sam Ali, a young Syrian painter whose life is upended by war. To escape, he agrees to have his back tattooed by a famous artist, turning his skin into a moving piece of art and a passport to Europe. The film uses a hybrid of realism and surrealism to explore migration, identity, and the commodification of the body, while exposing the political and social forces shaping the borders we cross. Kaouther Ben Hania directs with audacious imagination.
