Synopsis "Skin (in English)"
Skin is a story of restoration, the restoration of a house and of two lives. The house is a gem which has been treated badly and all but abandoned. The lives are more complicated. Sam-an older man-tragically lost a great love. To be whole again he needs to love again. Toby-a younger man-didn't exactly find love but thought he did which is nearly the same thing. He, too, lost that love, not through tragedy but through treachery which is perhaps worse. It takes the city of Palm Springs to bring these three together: Sam, Toby and a house named Deva Shaante. Along the way we romp through the clothing optional and more playful parts of Palm Springs in the company of a lot of interesting people. We also encounter wealth, death, love and murder.A house named Deva Shaante brings Sam Davis and Toby Litchfield together. Sam is an older man who tragically lost his first love. Toby, much younger, lost a lover, too. But he lost his through treachery instead of a tragedy. Through restoring the house, a mid-century gem, both learn to trust and rebuild a relationship. Along the way, they explore the clothing optional and playful parts of Palm Springs. As Sam sheds his old 'skin', he finds new friends, a fun life, and...a dead body next door.
