In the treacherous and swampy forests that make up the so-called ‘green border’ between Belarus and Poland, refugees from the Middle East and Africa find themselves trapped in a geopolitical mess. The false hope of a safer Europe is replaced by horror and modern tragedy. The lives of Julia, who has traded a comfortable life for the life of an activist, young border guard Jan, and a Syrian family become intertwined against the backdrop of this invisible war. Agnieszka Holland’s film, which caused a huge stir in Poland, raises the question: can opposing sides find a common ground when the border becomes a graveyard of broken dreams?
