    Totally worth it.
    A great film for a TV Movie. The story is actually good, this movie definitely deserves to be known by more people, it is actually very well shown and acted. The movie is based on the novel "La peau de chagrin" of Honoré de Balzac, set in the 19th century and tells the story of a young man who receives a magical piece of leather that satisfies his every wish. However, for each wish granted, the skin shrinks and consumes a portion of its vital energy. It does its job of entertaining from start to finish and offers you even a little bit more. If you like fantasy and mystery stories you will find this one very interesting if you have the opportunity to watch it don't hesitate and do it.
