In a brilliantly original debut feature by Dutch shorts director Esther Rots, a traumatic experience radically changes confident, vivacious Marieke’s life. She retreats from her familiar urban life to self-imposed solitude in a dilapidated house in the Zeeland countryside. With radical use of handheld camera techniques, innovative editing and sound and an intense, unforgettable central performance by Rifka Lodeizen, Can Go Through Skin evokes the horrors of a psychological breakdown and a painstaking and determined journey to recovery.
