His own body turned into a living work of art and promptly exhibited in a museum, Sam, a Syrian refugee, will soon realize to have sold away more than just his skin.

Sam Ali, a Syrian young man, took refuge in Lebanon to flee the Syrian civil war. There, he meets Jeffrey Godefroi, a famous tattoo artist, who makes Mr Ali's back his canvas for a piece of work. Soon, Mr Ali becomes a living work of art, worth an astronomical sum on the art market. Collectors are interested, auction goes up, human rights activists are outraged. Mr Ali must get out of the predicament he's in; the man who sold his skin.—Kwassa Films

Burning with desire to reunite with sad-eyed Abeer, the love of his life, the sensitive and spontaneous young Syrian, Sam Ali, is willing to risk life and limb to travel to Brussels. As a result, unable to get a visa, Sam Ali impulsively accepts the once-in-a-lifetime offer of the internationally renowned Belgian-American artist, Jeffrey Godefroi, to turn his back into a human canvas. Now, with an intricate and equally magnificent tattoo inked on his back, exiled Ali has gladly become a living, breathing work of art worth millions and a subject of controversy. However, freedom always comes at a price, and Faustian bargains never end well. Was it worth it?—Nick Riganas
