A shopgirl and a fragrance designer walk into a bar. 

Two strangers meet in bathroom cubicle. They both work for Australia’s leading all-natural skincare brand, but they’re twenty years apart in age and paygrade. And one of them has an insatiable fetish for broken skin... 

With top notes of hot sex and undercurrents of body horror, Mature Skin is more rom-vom than rom-com. An unflinching interrogation of the nastiness and beauty of queer bodies.
