Read on for the synopsis and details of how to enter...
Set in Holland in 1979 and based on real events, Skin is the dramatic story of 18-year-old Frankie Epstein, the son of a traumatised Holocaust survivor. Frankie’s mother, Anna, and her brother, Henk, are the only people able to bring together the troubled relationship between father and son. But when Anna is hospitalised with a serious illness, Frankie and his father drift further apart.
Unable to communicate with his father and seeking refuge from his troubled life at home, Frankie finds himself drawn to a group of neo-Nazi skinheads. They offer him recognition and a sense of belonging. And once he has his head shaved, Frankie feels he’s finally discarded his old identity and acquired a new one. But his new identity comes at a price. Increasingly alienated from his family, Frankie struggles to cope with his anger until one night he’s involved in a fight with tragic consequences.
