Late 19th century. Martinón is a man rude and of few words who lives in the high mountain, being the last person of a ghost town where he passes the days caring his house and hunting animals like deer and wolves. Alone and without a contact with other people along the year except when he downs to the nearest town to trade with the skins of the animals hunted, in one of these visits his friend Severino advise him about to have wife and create a family.

But Pascuala's health worse and finally dies, and Martinón realizes that the child she expected was of another man. Furious by the deceive, Martinón returns to the town claiming Ubaldo to recover the money and the skins sold. Unable to give him that he asks, Ubaldo gives Martinón his youngest daughter, Adela, marrying her and taking her to the house in the high. But the isolated place, and specially the bad manners and the stone heart of Martinón causes in Adela a deep resentment and pain, wanting a way to escape from there to live faraway from him.

Movie Reviews

Movie Nation - 5/10 by Roger MooreIt’s more striking to look at than riveting to follow. But if you ever doubted Europe has wilderness to rival America’s dazzling snow-capped peaks, wild waterfalls and unforgiving forests, it’s worth a look.
The Hollywood Reporter - 5/10 by Jonathan HollandSkin plays out with the clarity, simplicity, rawness and grim poetry of a folk tale, tackling on the way some pretty elemental themes, but it’s a tale as told by a very dull speaker. By the end, viewer sensations are mixed, with pleasure at having entered a strange new world, but also frustration at its sheer lack of drama.
User Review - 4/10 by moviesareforfunthis movie could have been good, it had the hallmarks of a great story. However the director should have paid more attention to detail. The fake snow looks obvious. The viewer could not tell the time period the story took place? The young woman left the village wearing a 1950's looking skirt, then wears clothing reminiscent of the 1800's the same with the man. How did she get all those clothes! when it never showed them taking any luggage to their mountain home? Too many inconsistencies spoiled the film for me. A disappointment.
User Review - 0/10 by FionutDon’t waste your time. Beautiful scenery - ugly story. There’s a reason it has 3 reviews despite being released almost 4 years ago.
