Can Go Through Skin is a psychological drama about Marieke (Rifka Lodeizen) , who moves from the city to the country after her life falls apart. Alone in a dilapidated cottage, she tries to piece back her existence again with the help of a farmer neighbour (Flemish actor Wim Opbrouck).
Rots’ debut feature comes after several well-received short films. In 2002 and 2003 she had shorts vying for the Palme d’Or in Cannes and a short from 2005 won her a Golden Calf, the national Dutch film prize.
Can Go Through Skin was produced by Rots Filmwerk in co-production with Benelux Film Distributors, Inspire Pictures and NFI Producties and in association with Dutch broadcaster NPS.
Inspire Pictures launched the film in Dutch cinemas via Benelux film Distributors on January 29. It can currently still be seen in five cities.
Other European productions that will screen part of New Directors/New Films include Alexis Dos Santos’ Unmade Beds [+see also:
