BORDER

CLOSING FILM

Tina loves borders, at least the border where she works as a customs agent every day. Her superhuman sense of smell enables her to sniff out fear, and she can thereby get to the bottom of illegal activities before anyone else. In private, the striking uniformed woman is loner: she is happiest on her long walks through the forest. It is not until she stops a foreign man at the border who turns out to be a spitting image of her, that Tina begins to suspect her true nature. Ali Abbasis BORDER proved to be an insider tip at Cannes – and truly is one of the best, wildest, most radical, and most beautiful films of the year.
