Description
The story takes us to Northern Ireland during the 1994 ceasefire: Best friends Vinny and Jonty are hell-bent on fleeing their small town, unflatteringly dubbed “Skintown” by the locals. Having grown up amid the uncertainty of conflict, the two dream of something bigger and come up with a reckless escape plan. Set against the surprising background of 90’s rave culture plus a nostalgic soundtrack, Skintown gives a heartfelt view of a generation of kids coming together during divided times.
