“Who are we under the skin? What defines us as a person? If one day your son told you he wanted to change sex, would you still love him as much as before?” These are the questions that permeate the Swiss documentary”Under the Skin”, which premiered in the second edition of the“Futuros Presentes Exhibition: European Cinemas”, at Sesc Digital.

The documentary, which will be available until March 23, is from 2019 and is directed by Robin Harsch. “Under the Skin” tells the story of three teenagers in transition in Le Refuge, a shelter for LGBTQIA+ youth in Geneva,Switzerland. In addition to the search for identity, the film also addresses relationships with families and proposes to talk about love and humanity.

Robin Harsch’s documentary has already participated in more than 10 festivals around the world, passing through countries such as Germany, Belgium, China, France and Uruguay. Harsch has directed several short films, both fiction and documentaries, for TV and cinema. He also acted as an actor in a feature film and made his first fiction feature, BICEPS, in 2018.
