Thierry has just met Claire and has fallen deeply in love even though she has the only characteristic he dislike sin a woman: very white skin.

He begins wasting away in the eyes of his best friend Henri but when he realises that it was Claire's sister who savagely attacked Henri in a hotel, Thierry understands how little he knows about her and her mysterious blood ties.

Québécois director Daniel Roby delivers an ice-cool romantic thriller with an eerie twist. Based on the novel by Joel Champetier, Peau Blanche crosses genres and modes with considerable sophistication, cleverly integrating everything from gothic horror to racial allegory
