A cinematic, poetic, and personal meditation on change, social inequality, and loss, Skin of Glass follows filmmaker Denise Zmekhol as she discovers that the most famous building designed by her late father —a modernist glass skyscraper in the heart of São Paulo— is now occupied by hundreds of homeless families. Weaving together the personal and the political, Skin of Glass becomes a profound and moving reflection on Brazil’s evolution through times of darkness, transformation, and rebirth.
