La piel donde vivo' (The skin in which I live) tells the story of a 29-year-old Dutchman, Jeroen Lans, who was adopted in Guatemala when he was two years old. He grew up in rural Gelderland. In his teens, when he began to have problems getting into discotheques, and heard people saying things like, 'Hey, you, go back to your own country', he started thinking more and more about his own identity. He realized that he was different. His curiosity grew about that far away country, Guatemale, where he was born José Roberto. In the Netherlands, Jeroen restores windmills and lives with his parents on their farm. But in spite of a good job, friends and family close by and an assurance of prosperity in his life, he feels that there is something missing; something is calling him to go back to Guatemala. Jeroen José decides to emigrate to the country he left as a small, adopted boy and to try and build up a life for himself there. He was born in Guatemala but he doesn't belong there. He grew up in the Netherlands but he doesn't belong here either. How will he find the balance between the two cultures; between the country of his birth and the country he grew up in; between his roots and his upbringing; between Jeroen and José?
