Skin on Skin

In an industrial slaughterhouse in Germany, Jakob works as a security guard while Boris from Bosnia slaughters pigs. Amidst the cold brutality of their surroundings, the two men form a quiet, unspoken bond, united by a shared longing for freedom. When Jakob helps Boris retrieve his confiscated passport, they find themselves caught in a dangerous spiral of power and helplessness, forcing them to confront fateful choices that will change their lives forever.
