SYNOPSIS
In a nameless land, at night, two teenagers who communicate through an invented sign language decide to escape. Wrapped in blankets, they cross an arid and hostile territory toward an invisible border. Unseen by those who watch, they run toward freedom, while indifference turns into tragedy. THE BORDER is a silent, universal fable about love, war, and the moment when it is already too late to choose.
