About How I Shed My Skin
The mother sent the teenager to learn how to swim with a good trainer. After the first classes, the boy staged a local revolution in the pool. It seemed more important to resist than to learn how to swim.
Directed by Alexey Shabarov, How I Shed My Skin leans on a strong ensemble — Daniil Lekomtsev, Petr Tvorogov, Sergei Zamiatin — 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 drama titles of 2017.
