BORDER CROSSING
POLISH TITLE: PRZEJŚCIE GRANICZNE
Humming, sluggish summer of 1989. A car with a caravan reaches the Czechoslovakian-Polish border and joins a long queue. Bees are buzzing in the grass. Enclosed in a small space, a family bicker as the atmosphere thickens. On the back seat, a little girl is absorbed by the world of nature. With her, we wade into the incomprehensible world of the adults, glimpsing a fear that grows as they approach the border.
