The Magic Skin

No matter how enormous it may be, the possession of power does not include knowledge on how to use it. A failed writer, and unrequited in love, Raphael is about to take a suicidal plunge into the Seine River. In the nick of time however, he discovers the "Magic Skin" in an antique shop. Its supernatural powers grant every wish--but at a terrible toll! This parable depicts the malaise of 19th Century France.
