The Skin of the Wolf

Martinón is the last inhabitant of Auzal, a village in the mountains where he lives in communion with nature. He only goes down to the valleys twice a year to trade and to buy provisions. But one day he’s convinced to take a wife, a decision intended to soften his calloused soul—but in some ways his real struggle is only just beginning.

Directed by Samu Fuentes, The Skin of the Wolf leans on a strong ensemble — Mario Casas, Irene Escolar, Ruth Díaz — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2018.
