The Man Who Sold His Skin

Watch Trailer Watch at Home

Sam Ali, a young, sensitive and impulsive Syrian, left his country for Lebanon to escape the war. To be able to travel to Europe and live with the love of his life, he accepts an offer to have his back tattooed by one of the World’s most controversial contemporary artists and put on display in a museum. Having turned his own body into a prestigious piece of art in exchange for the ability to travel the world, Sam will come to realize that his decision might actually mean anything but freedom.
