Paper Skin

Paper Skin is an absurdist dark satire about paranoia, masculinity, and the danger of projection. When a man receives a mysterious cardboard box labelled, “There’s a girl in this box,” he and his friend, Ronnie, become convinced that whatever lies inside is something far more sinister. As their suspicions spiral into hysteria, the two men descend into increasingly irrational attempts to destroy the perceived threat. Blending surreal humour with psychological tension, the film explores how fear and ideology can strip away empathy and turn the ordinary into something monstrous.
