A bleak, intellectually rigorous examination of moral collapse and survival in post-war Italy, where occupation and desperation strip away civilization's veneer.

Based on the memoirs of author Curzio Malaparte, diplomatic liaison between the Allied and Italian forces after the defeat of the Nazis in Italy, The Skin follows the collapse of Italian society under the US occupation and the desperate measures required for survival.
