The Second Skin plot

In an empty studio, three female filmmakers reenact the testimonies of survivors of sexual violence in Russia. They do this using stop-motion, performance, and pseudo-documentary rehearsals. During their fragile and sometimes ambiguous creative process, the filmmakers become both subject and guide.
