The Illustrated Man ; Ray Bradbury's (1969)

Released March 26th in the US.
Filming location(s) unknown.
The story : Two men , one young one older - just roaming the earth on their separate way.
The older of the two confronts the younger man , as he is looking for a woman and wants to know if he has seen her or her home.
Of course the younger man has no idea what the older man is talking about , but welcomes him to his campfire as he really doesn't have much of a choice in the matter.
Sooner than later , the older man lets the younger man in on the reason he is infact looking for the woman.
It seems she has "illustrated" his whole body , everything but his face , with illustrations she has done by hand.
The younger man finds the mans tattoos fantastic but is reprimanded for calling them tattoos.
The older man insists that no one can stand to be around him long , as in his tattoos they see their fate - good or bad.
