Experiencing Interruptions?

The Peel

After a flat tire leaves her stranded in the woods, a woman revisits haunting memories of her self-destructive tendencies. As she peels the skin from her fingers, each strip draws her deeper into the past. With every layer, she steps closer to the hidden child within herself.

Director Statement

The Peel is a self-reflective story that remembers the impulsive behaviors of biting nails and peeling skins. Within the experimental approach, the hidden struggles behind the behavior speaks for itself. I hope this film can gently touch the audience’s inner unease and share the speakable pain within us.
