He touches no one.
Since childhood, contact has been an intrusion: other people's emotions invade his body and erase his own presence. To survive, Nathanaël has withdrawn. From skin. From the world.
Mira, on the other hand, feels nothing.
No joy, no fear, no desire. A stable emptiness, painless and flat. Until the day something appears near Nathanaël. Faint. Unstable. Alive.
They should never meet.
For him, touch is a danger. For her, it becomes a necessity. And yet, in that forbidden space, a fragile balance is born. Enough to make them want to stay. Enough to make them fear losing what has begun to exist.
Between contemporary fable and existential romance, Soul & Skin explores meaning and ab-sense, the boundary of the body, and the dizzying question of connection.
What remains of us when feeling becomes a risk, and loving, a possible fall?
