, before going onto Toronto Film Festival and New York Film Festival, has sold to multiple territories.has been granted access to an exclusive clip from the film, and Holland’s notes on the production, which we quote from below, again exclusively.
In an attempt to provoke Europe, refugees are lured to the border by propaganda promising easy passage to the EU. Pawns in this hidden war, the lives of Julia, a newly minted activist who has given up her comfortable life, Jan, a young border guard, and a Syrian family intertwine.
Holland contrasts the treatment of Ukrainian refugees with that of the migrants from outside Europe. “Once again, many refugees are wandering around the woods on the Polish-Belarusian border; once again being tortured, pushed back to Belarus, and dying. The oppression of the activists rescuing them is getting harsher, and the behavior of the Polish border guards – the same ones who carry Ukrainian children across the border with tenderness and empathy – is becoming more brutal.
