The Next Skin

“The Next Skin is a punchy, accessible combination of domestic and thriller elements that provokes the heart and the head in equal measure, as well as representing a successful comeback for feted Spanish auteur Isaki Lacuesta.”
The Hollywood Reporter

Synopsis

Gabriel, a boy who had gone missing, is found eight years later in a home for teenagers. While he was presumed dead, his mother, Ana, doesn’t doubt his identity. Gabriel reintegrates the family life marked by his mysterious disappearance, but slowly doubt settles in: Is he really the missing child or an impostor?
