Dr.
Robert Ledgard is a driven plastic surgeon haunted by personal tragedies. After
many years of trial and error, he finally prefects a new skin – a shield which
could have prevented the death of his wife in an accident years earlier. His
latest “guinea pig” is a mysterious captive whose true identity masks a shocking
mystery. The Skin I Live In is a masterful tale of secrets, obsession and
revenge from Academy Award winning writer, director Pedro Almodovar.
