Goethe Kino in June | Skin Deep (Aus meiner Haut)

Leyla and Tristan have been a couple for years, but for some time they have felt that something is missing in their relationship. One day they are invited by Leyla's childhood friend Stella to a remote island, where they quickly realise that strange things are going on. In fact, Stella offers them an unusual experiment: through an exchange ritual, they are to swap bodies with another person in order to see the world through that person's eyes. For Leyla and Tristan, Fabienne and Mo were drawn as "swap partners". While Tristan is not quite comfortable in his temporary body, Leyla is intoxicated by an unknown feeling of happiness. When she refuses to swap back into her own body, the experiment threatens to escalate.
