Winner! Un Certain Regard – 2018 Cannes Film Festival
Sweden’s Official Oscar Entry for Best Foreign Language Film, 2019 Academy Awards

One Week Only!

From the writer of “Let the Right One In” (John Ajvide Lindqvist), Border is about a customs officer named Tina, who is known for her extraordinary sense of smell. It’s almost as if she can sniff out the guilt on anyone hiding something. But when Vore, a suspicious-looking man, walks past her, her abilities are challenged for the first time ever. Tina can sense Vore is hiding something she can‘t identify. Even worse, she feels a strange attraction to him. As Tina develops a special bond with Vore and discovers his true identity, she also realizes the truth about herself.
