Synopsis:
"I always say that Nick was born with a skin too few", tells actress Gabrielle about her brother, the English singer-songwriter Nick Drake (1948-1974). It took twenty posthumous years for his music to gain recognition and even proclaim him cult hero. The documentary A Skin Too Few approaches the silent landscapes, locations, people and music in the life of this unorthodox loner in the hope of understanding his state of mind.
