Skin
Hatred Was His Way Out
Directed by Hanro Smitsman
A dark, psychologically probing true-crime drama about a vulnerable teenager's descent into Nazi extremism, rooted in family trauma and historical hatred.
In the late Seventies, a Dutch teenager named Frankie, who is the son of a holocaust survivor, lives in a working class area in Holland. Frankie’s mother is taken to hospital in a terminal condition, causing a bigger rift between him and his father. This leads to Frankie becoming the interest of the local Nazi skinhead group.
