In My Skin

Original version

BBC Three

Drama: Relationships & Romance

The coming of age story of Bethan and the anxieties and insecurities of teenage life.

Bethan deals with the quiet heartbreak of an imperfect family and the awkwardly real anxieties of teenage life and sexuality. A bittersweet story with Welsh wit and grit.

The coming of age story of 16-year-old Bethan Gwyndaf. We follow her as she deals with the comical but painfully real anxieties and insecurities of teenage life, along with the stark reality of a home life that is far removed from what she projects to her friends. It’s a place where humour and heartbreak walk hand in hand. Full of Welsh wit and grit and light and shade.
