Granica

Storyline

Autumn 2021. Oliwia's home in the forest between Poland and Belarus has become a highly militarized exclusion zone. Every night, she leaves food and water in her garden for the refugees who are trying to make it through the woods. She hasn't met anyone yet - until Hamid appears in front of her window. Her decision to help him entangles her in a tragic struggle with a system that outlaws humanity.
