Gräns

Customs border patrol officer Tina much aware that she’s different. Her otherness lies in not only her physicality but also in her uniquely acute power of smell – particularly her ability to smell the emotions of others. Director Ali Abbasi presents us with an extremely profound tale that goes beyond the obvious story of self-discovery and acceptance and speaks to the world at large on the subject of tolerance and coexistence. It’s an allegory masked in grotesque whimsy: a bold and powerful message hidden in an adult fairytale.

Tina’s world is turned upside-down when a man of shockingly similar appearance shows up at her border station. After crossing a few times, Vore and Tina befriend one another and after a series of positive encounters and one huge reveal, it seems the customs officer has finally found her place in the world.
