The 7-year-old Laiz has curly and yellow hair, a wide nose, fair skin and blue eyes. Since very young she was taught by her mother that being albino is not a limiting condition. Joselito, on the other hand, a 65-year-old man, also black and albino, only understood his condition at 20, when he was used as an example in a biology class. Unlike Laiz’s porcelain skin, Joselito has undergone more than 100 surgical procedures to remove mostly cancerous spots. Either at home or at school, in the dermatological office or in the political group, "At the Edge of Skin" intersects and shows the complex and ancestral network that unites those two lives.
