"Skin of Glass" is the story of São Paulo's largest vertical favela, a 25-storey office tower, a treasure of mid-20th century architecture and the masterpiece of Denise Zmekhol's late father. The film follows Zmekhol's journey to discover her father's endangered legacy as an artist as she confronts the harsh reality of inequality that is destroying the city he loved.
