but skin and bones

Convicted of murdering his wife, a crime of which he declares himself innocent, Jacques Mazur is serving a long sentence in a prison where his presence causes disruption.

Kristian (Mugge), Casper (Søgaard), and Jakob (Nasser) are friends and neighbours and share a friendship based on humour and irony, and as all other young men, they all take a great interest in film, sports, girls, sex and partying. They also share, however, some seriously challenging living terms; all three of them suffer from Progressive Muscular Dystrophy, and thus - with a pinch of characteristic black humour - refer to themselves as the "Skin and Bones" guys.

Skin and Bones gently introduce us to the world of anorexia and bulimia. The heroines of this moving film in which reality and fiction merge are called Annie, Andréanne, Hélène, Eisha. They have in common their youth and charm - as well as a terrible tendency to self-destruct.
