Honored in Venice, vilified in the Polish election campaign: one of the most politically relevant films of recent years returns to the big screen.
The “green border” is a forest area between Belarus and Poland. On the run from war and terror, Bashir’s family and the teacher Leila, respectively from Syria and Afghanistan, believe they can reach the EU through here. Instead, they become the victims of political scheming and propaganda. Their fates are intertwined with those of characters on the Polish side: Julia, who becomes an activist on impulse, and Jan, a young border guard.
A tender and angry film, told with profound humanity. In crystalline black-and-white, reminiscent of many major works of Polish cinema, Holland lays bare the drama of our present.
