Synopsis:
All the women of a town lost in the mountains experience a strange fever and, one night, feeling called by god, They run away from their homes and their husbands to return the next morning covered in golden dust and pregnant.. They all claim to be the mother of the new messiah. This is how The Female Skin begins, the most ambitious work of Elaine Vilar Madruga, that unfolds a universe of its own, where the fantastic and the disturbing intertwine with intense lyricism and latent rage.
A massive contemporary epic that questions all social roles and established power, as well as providing a new vision on the concepts of identity, memory, fe, homeland or death.
We wait for them!
