The Man Who Sold His Skin is a contemporary film based on an international crisis that is in the consciousness of us all. The film's award-winning female director, Kaouther Ben Hania, manages to capture the human and reproduce what desperation (and love) can drive a human being to. Described by the director as "an allegory of the individual's personal freedom in a non-egalitarian system", the film deals with both overarching issues in the refugee debate and more profound issues such as loss of dignity to achieve freedom of movement. - in a story loosely based on Wim Delvoye's artwork "Tim" from 2006.
