BORDERS
Directed by Andra Chiriac, 2017





SYNOPSIS
A story that follows the boundaries that are drawn between two human beings, inner boundaries - emotional and affective. Above all, they are the ones that separate us. Five years ago, Angela left her family in Romania to go and work in France. She hadn't been home for over a year. Worried, her husband turned up unexpectedly. He realises that his wife has made a life for herself in France, and that she no longer wishes to return home...
