A poetic and personal cinematic meditation on displacement and loss, SKIN OF GLASS follows filmmaker Denise Zmekhol’s journey after discovering that her late father's most celebrated work as an architect, a modernist glass skyscraper in the heart of São Paulo, Brazil, has become occupied by hundreds of homeless families. In the wake of a shocking tragedy, Zmekhol connects with the residents of the building seeking to understand how São Paulo’s most vulnerable found shelter within a modernist icon from Brazil’s golden age of architecture. Delicately interweaving the personal and political, SKIN OF GLASS is a profound and moving reflection of the country’s own evolution during eras of darkness, transformation, and rebirth.
