Synopsis:
To be able to live in Bogotá, you need a skin than can adapt, that can turn reptilian when it doesn’t stop raining for weeks and that can go soft when the woman in the corner shop gives you a free morning coffee. Thick Skin is a dance film that takes the viewer through the Colombian capital high above the Andes with stylized movement that speaks of life in the bustling city.
